Burnt Mills West Special Park (10701 Columbia Pike, Silver Spring, MD 20901)

7:30 to ~10am Explore the Rachel Carson trail between Colesville Rd. and Loxford Terrace (westward from Colesville). It will be nice and shady and the wide path winds along the Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River so there is also the cooling effect of water as well as the possibility for some water-birds. It’s a wide, level, forgiving and mostly flat natural surface trail/path. It’s got mostly long site-lines, and there’s even a cool frog pond along that section. Mentors: Angela Atwood-Moore and Andy Martin. Reservations are required via https://tinyurl.com/

Oaks Landfill (6001 Olney Laytonsville Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20882)

4:00 to 7:00pm Join us for a LATE AFTERNOON caravan-style trip. Mostly open terrain with some ponds. Reservations required at least a week ahead of the trip for names to be submitted to the county. All parties must enter and exit the landfill together, so latecomers/leaving early cannot be accomodated. This trip is best for youth ages 8 and up due to frequency of getting in and out of the car. Scopes are recommended. Mentors: Mark England and Lauren Carey. Reservations are required via https://tinyurl.com/
