About CBEC

CBEC is a 510 acre wildlife preserve that will open your eyes, ears, mind, and heart to the wildlife and historic landscapes that characterize Maryland’s Eastern Shore.  Pause for a moment in a secluded bird blind, or explore native woodlands, marshes and meadows, along 4 miles of walking trails.  Search for the over 200 species of birds regularly seen at CBEC.  Return again and again to discover the rich, ever-changing world of the Chesapeake Bay’s tidal marshes throughout the seasons.  Visitor Center, gift shop, indoor and outdoor restrooms, and picnic facilities available.
