IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. Glendening Nature Preserve (GNP) will be undergoing a second herbicide (not pesticide) treatment on Friday, October 3rd. This treatment will help with our efforts for the enhancement of these meadows. On the day of spraying, the Plummer entrance and the restrooms will be CLOSED, and portions of the trails leading to Plummer House will also be CLOSED. They will remain closed for the entire day. Please see the map for details. For more information on why we are spraying, please see this document.
2. It's time for turtles to find cozy places to spend the winter so they are on the move. PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY and WITH CARE on our country roads and down our entire driveway. Look for critters crossing the road AND check under your car BEFORE you leave!
3. Finally, on warm, rainy nights this fall, you may see volunteers surveying Wrighton Rd and Plummer Lane for migrating amphibians and removing amphibians from roadways before they are destroyed. We thank you for your patience and support with this wildlife conservation effort. If you'd like to join in the effort, email jugbay@aacounty.org.
