Help wildlife during National Trails Day

Clear the trash and the weeds and give the fish, birds and wildlife a good home.

That’s the message from the Gwynns Falls Trail Council, which along with the outdoor store REI, is hosting National Trails Day, with a service project focused on the Middle Branch Park of the Patapsco River.

Participants will meet at Middle Branch Park, 3301 Waterview Ave., clear the Middle Branch from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. on June 6.

For more information or to register, call 410-448-5663, ext. 113, or e-mail info@gwynnsfallstrail.org.

Eve, the event is on Saturday, June 6. Fitting that everyone will be clearing the shore on the anniversary of D-Day.

This park really needs the clean-up. It was so clean for the year after the trail was opened but was quickly filled with trash (esp after holidays-- this is a great place to picnic).

The shoreline along this area is protected and contains wildlife and vegetation unlike any other part of the city. I have seen rabbits, rare birds and even a deer in middle branch park.

About the bloggers

Meredith Cohn has been a reporter for more than 18 years and has covered a variety of subjects, from airlines and agriculture to politics and health and fitness. She's gained an appreciation for the environment as a biker, runner and dog walker. She also hopes this blog means coworkers will stop staring when she carries home recyclables from the office.

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.

She brings her pespective on all things handmade to B'More Green, where she will highlight projects you can do yourself as well as crafters who are integrating sustainable methods and materials.
