CBEC is excited to announce a schedule of guided hikes offered twice a month during the 2017 season.

Guided Hikes will lead participants on CBEC’s Lake Trail for a unique opportunity to discover several ecologically important habitats to the Chesapeake Bay watershed found on our 510 acre peninsula in Grasonville, MD. A docent will lead participants on a journey to explore topics of Hummock Succession, Oyster Reef Ecology, Salt Marsh Plants, Lake Knapp Bird Residents, and Resident Raptors, all while walking a 1.5 mile flat path around the center of our 510-acre peninsula. Each month we will be announcing a specialty topic for these hikes led by a Maryland Master Naturalist. Please check the calendar on our website for these announcements.
