Eco-TEEN Montgomery: Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge

Whether crawling through caves, hiking the Appalachian Trail or caring for owls, hawks and eagles, Eco-TEEN Montgomery gets teens outdoors learning about their environment while making a difference through environmentally based service learning projects. Eco-TEEN Montgomery is all about exploring something new, helping the environment, making new friends and (most of all) having fun. There’s no school today, so join us as we travel to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on the Eastern Shore. The Refuge’s 27,000 acres are composed mainly of rich tidal marshes, freshwater ponds, and mixed evergreen and deciduous forests. In January, great horned owls are incubating eggs, while bald eagles are rebuilding their nests high in Loblolly Pines. We’ll explore by van and on foot what the Refuge has to offer this time of year! Bring bag lunch and beverage, wear walking shoes, and dress for the weather! Registration required.
