United Ways
Day of Caring
A Day to Serve
By Sarah Miller
Staff Writer
Its just a great, feel good day. Volunteerism is so important in our community, said United Way President and
CEO Kelly Chambers of the upcoming
Day of Caring.
There are 25 projects included in the
upcoming Day of Giving, said United Way Director of Operation Sherri
Gedridge.
The projects are submitted by partner organizations and can range from
large scale painting, building, and landscaping endeavors to sitting with seniors and getting to know people in the
community.
If you need it done, were going to get
it done, Gedridge said.
According to the United Way website, Day of Caring is an annual United
Way special event that brings together
employees from local businesses to volunteer at United Way of Calvert County
partner agencies. Local residents and
employees have the opportunity to
spend a workday engaging in meaningful volunteer projects at United Way
partner agencies to see, first hand, how
United Way dollars are working to meet
the needs of our community.
Its always a good day, Gedridge
said.
Volunteers for Day of Caring come
from local businesses, such as Exelon,
Logo courtesy of the United Way of

Calvert County
local civic organizations, and the community as a whole. Calvert County Public Schools sends a group of students to
help at Farming for Hunger every year,
and a number of independent individuals
sign up to lend a hand.
The intent has always been to partner
businesses with agencies for lasting relationships, Gedridge said.
United Way representatives reach out
to new businesses and local community
organizations all the time in an effort to
grow the Day of Caring, Chambers said.
For individuals interested in seeing
more than one project underway, there
are openings on the VIP bus tour. The
tour is free, and participants get lunch
and a tee shirt, Gedridge said.
It gives you an opportunity to find
out what is out there for the community
and how theyre helping, Gedridge said.
This years Day of Caring is on
Wednesday, Sept. 9. For more information, visit www.unitedwaycalvert.org/

The ceremony will be begin at 8 am.
The Knights support for Catholic education has
been tremendous, said Marcos Lindekugel, a member

It is fitting that they play a major role on this milestone day.
The St. Marys Council #1470 of the Knights of
Columbus created a fiscal sponsor agreement with
MCA, allowing individuals and corporations to make
taxexempt donations to the school through the Knights
while the school awaits federal taxexempt approval.
The agreement has yielded several thousand dollars

will open its doors this school year to the largest number of students to enroll at the Helen campus in five
years.
The Academy will open Aug. 26 on the same site
as Mother Catherine Spalding School, an archdiocesan
school that closed last year. The Academys faculty,
administration, parents and 15member board of trustees the independent governing body that operates the
school have reinvigorated the school community with
fresh engagement, enthusiasm and innovative ideas.
Mother Catherine Academy provides the families
of Southern Maryland another choice when it comes to
educating their primary schoolage students, said Tom
Cavanaugh, president of the schools board of trustees.
High academic standards, small classes with individualized attention, excellent teachers, education for
the whole child, a community of parents who actively
participate in their childrens education and most importantly, a school which incorporates Christian values
into its very core form the foundation upon which the
Academy will launch an upward spiral of continual
improvement.
Some of the more popular changes introduced this
year include a multichild tuition rate that caps costs for
large families, an expanded STEM program, enhancements to the outdoor agriculture lab, and a renewed
focus on basic skills such as public speaking. In addition to these innovations, the Academy has retained the
best teachers from the former school and hired several
new, highly regarded teachers. The school aims to improve upon its predecessors already impressive number 4 rank in math across all Archdiocesan schools

Your County Commissioners will be attending the Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) Summer Conference August
12 - 15, 2015, at the Roland Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, Maryland.
The theme of this conference is Energize. Mobilize. Capitalize. It is about the
challenges we can address, the actions we
can take, and the strengths we can leverage to achieve the best gains for Marylands
counties and citizens.
These conferences are not a boondoggle
as they serve many purposes. Each attendee
can learn much to improve themselves in
their elected role. There is also plenty of networking time for elected officials, staff who
all benefit from learning how other jurisdictions deal with comparable problems.
Participants will learn about the current economy from the local government
perspective, how we can foster economic
growth and improve the business climate;
and the strategic partners available to us
at all levels of government so that we can
work together and make significant strides
towards a healthier economic outlook for
Maryland.
MACo sponsers the Academy for Excellence in Local Governance, a voluntary certificate program and a collaborative effort
involving MACo, the Maryland Municipal
League (MML), the Local Government Insurance Trust (LGIT), and the School of

and were the proud parents of eight children.
He was a devoted Catholic and active in

Cassandra Parran
Briscoe, 78
Cassandra Parran Briscoe, age 78, of St. Leonard,
died peacefully at home on
Tuesday, August 4. Sandra
was born March 22, 1937 in
Prince Frederick to Benjamin and Cassandra Shannon
Parran. She and her younger
brother, Benjamin Buddy Parran, Jr., grew
up on The Cage, a large tobacco and cattle
farm in St. Leonard. Sandra attended Calvert
County Public Schools through tenth grade.
She graduated from Stuart Hall School in
Staunton, Va. and attended Goucher College
in Baltimore. Sandra married James Thompson Briscoe on September 18, 1958 in Baltimore. They treasured their 51 years of marriage together on his family farm, Stonesby,
in St. Leonard. When her husband injured
his back and was unable to drive the tractor
for extended periods of time, Sandra, a young
mother at the time, assisted with the tilling of
the land. Although she was used to farm life,
that spring marked the beginning of her love of
farming and working the land herself.
A devoted mother and gifted homemaker,
Sandras artistic and creative flair was evident
in every aspect of her life. She was a beautiful
seamstress, sewing everything from draperies to evening gowns. The clever Halloween
costumes she created for her three children
typically won them some award. Sandra was
a splendid and adventurous cook. She was a
gracious hostess and enjoyed entertaining, especially when it involved family gatherings,
both large and small. An avid flower and vegetable gardener, Sandra served as President of
the Calvert Garden Club and was known for
her exquisite freeform flower arrangements.
She and her husband, James Briscoe, were
founding members of The Calverton School,
and Sandra served as President of the Mothers Club for many years. A lifelong member
of Christ Episcopal Church in Port Republic,
Maryland, Sandra ran the Gifts and Crafts
Booth at the annual Jousting Tournament and
Bazaar; for months in advance, she would create unique handmade crafts to sell. She served
on the Altar Guild and enjoyed adorning the
church for the Christmas and Easter seasons.
In her later years, she assisted with the luncheons hosted by the Comfort Givers for families and guests following funeral services at
Christ Church.
When her children left for college, Sandra
became the Manager of Cage Farm. Having
fallen into disrepair and debt, she brought new
energy and vitality to the farm. She oversaw
the cattle operation, and raised tobacco, small
grains, soybeans, hay, and straw. With her
guidance and the help of the other workers, it
became a thriving farm operation once again.
A stickler for precision and accuracy in her
accounting, Sandra continued to be the bookkeeper for the farm until very recently. Sandra
was active within the farming community; she
served on the Calvert Farmland Trust and was
a Committee Member of the Calvert County
Farm Service Agency for numerous years.
Sandras hobbies and past times included refinishing furniture, soft crabbing, hunting for
Native American artifacts, and genealogy.
Sandra will be remembered for her generosity of spirit, her quick wit, and her wry sense
of humor. The family is extremely grateful for
the loving care provided for her by her caregivers and Calvert Hospice. She is survived by
her daughter, Shannon Briscoe Campbell, her
husband, David, and their two children, Cassandra and Liam; her son Crofton Briscoe, his
wife, Kim, and their daughter, Corinthia; and
her son Parran Briscoe, his wife, Holly, and
their two children, James and Delaney, all of
St. Leonard, as well as numerous nieces and
nephews. She was preceded in death by her
husband, her parents, and her brother. Family received friends from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, August 7 at Rausch Funeral Home, 4405
Broomes Island Rd., Port Republic. Funeral.
Services were held at 11 a.m. on Saturday,
August 8 at Christ Episcopal Church, Port
Republic; interment followed in the church
cemetery. Should friends desire, memorial
contributions may be made to Christ Episcopal Church, 3100 Broomes Island Rd., Port
Republic or Calvert Hospice, 238 Merrimac
Ct., Prince Frederick.
Ann Barbara Annie King, 80

Ann Barbara Annie King, 80, of Lusby,
formerly of Mechanicsville, passed away on
July 31 at her residence. Born July 4, 1935 in
Flint, Mich., she was the daughter of the late
Arthur Mooers and Elsie (Fritsch) Mooers.
Ann graduated from Flint Central High
School in 1953. She married Robert I. King on
April 30, 1952 in Flint, Mich. She worked as
a Unit Secretary at Southern Maryland Hospital Center for 15 years, retiring in 2010. Annie
was a member of the VFW, Healthcare Workers Association, and Daughters of the American Revolution.
Ann is survived by her children, Dennis
King (Becky) of Lusby, Linda Mercier (Ray)
of Asheville, N.C. and Kent King (Sharon)
of Sumter, N.C.; daughter-in-law, Lori King
of Mechanicsville, six grandchildren; and 14
great-grandchildren. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Robert I. King, son, Michael King and

Feature Story
Questions Linger, Interest

Grows in Medical Marijuana
By Guy Leonard
Staff Writer
As a limited liability company is moving
ahead with trying to get a license to construct
a facility that would be used to grow, process
and distribute medically-oriented cannabis
in St. Marys County, law enforcement and
health officials are trying to come to grips
with its potential impacts on the community,
while others are eagerly awaiting the opportunities it could bring.
The state cannot make an estimate of its
economic impact of communities now but it
believes that it could create new jobs and other
economic benefits after a significant investment on the part of the applicant for construction and security of the drug.
Last year in Colorado, retailers sold nearly
$400 million in medical cannabis, generating
millions in tax revenue for the state, according to that states data.
Now legal for medicinal use in Maryland,
the state commission that regulates the drug
is still engaged in the process of finalizing the
ground rules for its growing and use.
Those rules still being debated in draft
form likely wont be finalized until later this
year, according to the Maryland Medical
Cannabis Commissions timeline.
Whether such a facility becomes a reality
here in Southern Maryland or not, local law
officers say its legality is not in question.
The law is the law and Im hoping they
play by the rules and that the rules are enforced, said Calvert County Sheriff Mike
Evans, regarding a similar application in his
jurisdiction.
Due to the stringent requirements under
which a medical marijuana facility would
likely have to operate, based on proposed
regulations, Evans said he would not consider
proliferation of the narcotic into unauthorized

hands an issue.
Its so strictly regulated I dont see that
as a problem, Evans said.
St. Marys County Sheriff Timothy K.
Cameron said he had confidence in the intentions of those involved in the application
for the facility in his jurisdiction; he said in
speaking with Peggy Danielson of Southern
Maryland Relief LLC he learned that they intended to grow the cannabis plant but process
it to extract a medicinal oil free from the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that is the narcotic
portion of the product.
Cameron said the group told him that they
did not have plans to sell plant matter even
though the law currently allows it for medical use.
The law allows for both indoor and outdoor
growing facilities, Cameron said, but both
have to be secured by either redundant fencing or specifically mandated building styles.
Multiple points of video surveillance are required as are security and background checks
for all employees; anyone with a felony is
disqualified from being employed at such an
operation.
Only residents issued with a state-mandated card denoting their need for medical marijuana could buy from the dispensary and then
only one person at a time would be allowed
into the room where the drug was stored,
Cameron said of the proposed regulations.
The proposed regulations are very tight
its expansive in its requirements, Cameron said. Its a very demanding application
process.
Several years ago Cameron and another
chief law officer testified in the Annapolis
legislature against a medical marijuana bill
that had no provisions for oversight that the
current law affords, but the testimony he
heard from terminally ill patients about the

potential cannabinoids had to alleviate their
suffering touched him deeply, he said.
But what also has touched him is the testimony of parents statewide who have told him
and other law officers that they have lost their
children to heroin and opioid overdoses.
Everyone of them said it started with marijuana, Cameron said.
This informed Camerons two main concerns about a medical cannabis operation,
that it could lead to proliferation of the narcotic and even with stringent security someone
involved in the operation could illegally divert
some of the drug for street use.
Cameron said he took some comfort in
knowing that the group seeking a license to
operate in St. Marys were local and not a corporate entity with few ties or interests in the
community.
If somebodys going to do it I hope that
they will strictly follow the law and have roots
in the community and feel a responsibility to
the community, Cameron said.
There is some evidence to suggest that cannabinoids have real-world benefits for people
suffering from a wide range of maladies including chronic pain, wasting syndrome and
muscle spasms but because marijuana is listed
as a Schedule 1 drug by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which means it is
not considered to have any medical value.
Having the drug switched to Schedule 2,
which includes opioids, would give scientists
much greater access to it for research.
Dr. Meenakshi Brewster, county health
officer and head of the St. Marys County
Health Department, said the data on medical
marijuanas effectiveness can be contradictory since the quality of studies conducted
varied widely.
There is good data but not great data,
11
Brewster said, who added that marijuana was

far from harmless. We need to ensure there
are strong regulations.
Use of marijuana, when it includes the THC
element, can lead to short term impairment of
mental and motor functions and long term use
can even lead to mental illness, she said.
Worse yet, when used consistently starting
at a young age, particularly when smoked,
marijuana can lead to serious problems with
mental development.
Marijuana abuse is a significant public
health issue, Brewster said. It is a known
gateway drug just like tobacco and alcohol.
Brewster said there is no firm evidence that
shows recreational use of marijuana by young
people is affected by its legal status for medical purposes, but she said the drugs use by
young people is significant.
According to the states 2013 Youth Risk
Behavior Survey a little over 31 percent of
young people in St. Marys County said they
had tried marijuana at least once in their
lifetime.
Southern Maryland Relief LLCs representative Danielson declined to comment for this
article but said the response to her groups intentions are encouraging.
Most of the feedback were getting is positive, she said.
In e-mail communications with the Commissioners of St. Marys County, Danielson
said her motivation to pursue medical marijuana cultivation was due to her nieces being
diagnosed with Rett Syndrome neuro-developmental disorder.
County commissioners have signaled their
desire to learn more about medical cannabis
but have so far offered only a tepid response
to the license application.

Renters Tax Credit

September 1 Deadline is
Less Than One Month Away
Qualified renters in Maryland are

running out of time to take advantage of available tax credits, just as
their home owning counterparts do.
The Renters Tax Credit program
gives qualified renters in Maryland
the potential to receive a credit up
to $750.
The program is designed to help
renters whose monthly rent exceeds
a fixed amount in relation to their
income. If they qualify, they may
be able to receive a credit up to,
but not exceeding, $750. Not every
Marylander who rents their home
can take advantage of the credit.
In order to qualify for the program,
renters must meet specific eligibility requirements:
Be legally responsible for the
rent;
Be age 60 or over, or 100%
disabled;
Be a surviving spouse of one

who otherwise would have been
eligible;
If a resident is under age 60, they
must have had at least one dependent under the age of 18 living with
them, and didnt receive federal or
state housing subsidies or reside in
public housing, and the combined
income of all residents of the home
is below the allowable guidelines
during the year they may apply for
the credit.
The deadline to apply for the credit is Sept. 1 of the year in which the
credit will apply. Waiting until the
last minute is never recommended.
We always encourage residents
to file as early as possible to avoid
any last minute filing backlog, says
Agency Director Sean Powell.

Nonprofit Institute at
CSM Matches Volunteers
with Community
Opportunities at Volunteer
Southern Maryland
The Nonprofit Institute at the College of

Southern Maryland has expanded its support of the communitys organizations by
offering Volunteer Southern Maryland
(VSMD). This free and comprehensive online database serves as a one-stop shop for
connecting volunteers who wish to serve
with local nonprofit agencies that have specific needs.
Volunteer Southern Maryland will become an integral part of the services that
our Nonprofit Institute provides, said CSM
President Dr. Brad Gottfried. All nonprofits struggle to find good volunteers and this
site provides opportunities for them to find
the people they need.
The Nonprofit Institute manages the database, a volunteer technology management
system that improves the volunteer experience and helps nonprofits improve their
efficiencies in such areas as planning and
implementing events, helping with office
functions, or providing assistance to clients.
Im excited that we are able to offer this
service to the community. The matchmaking aspect of the site should lead to greater
satisfaction on the part of volunteers, the
nonprofit community, and the people of
Southern Maryland, said Harriet Yaffe,
coordinator of the St. Marys County Nonprofit Institute.
For the partnering nonprofits, VSMD provides volunteer management functionality
without increasing costs. Partners can create an account, post opportunities for events
or ongoing needs, and track volunteer hours.

Providing a free, easily accessible tool will
aim organizations towards a successful volunteer program, regardless of budget constraints, according to Yaffe.
Vivian Mills, coordinator of the Charles
County Nonprofit Institute, said, The program helps enhance the quality of the volunteer experience while helping organizations
do a better job of planning their events and
building public support.
Having a centralized location for volunteer openings in Southern Maryland makes
it easy for volunteers to find relevant and
meaningful opportunities and strengthen
the community, added Mills. Groups and
individuals looking for matches can search
Volunteer Southern Maryland to find the
best fit. Doing a detailed search, people can
match their interest, location and schedule.
Potential volunteers can search by cause,
organization name, skills needed, impact
area or calendar dates. After volunteering,
individuals can use VSMD to rate their experience, provide feedback and share stories
through social networking features.
The web site can be visited at http://vsmd.
csmd.edu/ . Additionally, VSMD promotes
local volunteerism through its facebook
presence. For information about VSMD or
the Nonprofit Institute, contact Program Assistant Megan Timmens, 301-529-4744 or

Fine Art and Framing
By Crista Dockray
Contributing Writer
Whether you would like to buy a gift for a

friend, decorate a wall space or start a collection, carmens gallery is the place to look. carmens gallery displays two floors of artwork
from around 50 artists all over the world, including countries such as Peru, Ukraine, Iran,
Cuba and Israel. Besides artwork, carmens
gallery offers custom framing and sells handmade jewelry, pottery, sculpture, clothing and
more.
The artists send us new work all the time,
so we are constantly switching out what we
have, said Art Director Kirsten Kauffman.
carmens gallery originally opened in owner Carmen Lee Nance Gambrills home as a
frameshop in 1981, putting Gambrill as one of
the first 500 certified framers in the world and
the first frame shop in Calvert County. Her
inspiration to open the business came from
her grandfather who left her $1,000 upon his
death and with her growing dislike with her
job as a school teacher, she was looking for
something new. With the money, she decided
to do something her grandfather would be
proud of and started the business seen today.
I took a sabbatical from the school system
and then I just didnt go back. Then this went
from half a day to a full day and it started
on a shoestring. Now we try to give customers a good product and stand behind it, said
Gambrill.
After its start in 1981, the gallery moved
Photos by Crista Dockray
twice in the Solomons area, and then opened

its current location in 1996, putting it in its
34th year on Solomons Island. They also are
proud to call themselves the winner of Bay
Weeklys, Best Art Gallery on the Chesapeake Bay three years in a row.
carmens gallery involves the surrounding

community with a variety of workshops that

usually last between two and three days and
can be for all levels. Instructors are brought
from all over and participants can enjoy painting, lunch, and the chance to bond with other
students. They also host an art show every
one to two months throughout the year and
can be found at other community events such
as Taste of Solomons.
carmens gallery hosts and runs their biggest event, Solomons Plein Air Festival, an
annual, open air painting extravaganza with
artists from all over the world. This will be
running September 15 through the 20 this
year. This helps support charities and last
year they raised over $10,000 for their six
of choice. Along with this event, they take
part in the Christmas Walk, which Gambrill
helped to start, on the first week of December.
carmens gallery also features Gambrills
onsite studio, where she started painting only

four years ago. Gambrills artwork is always
displayed around the gallery, but if customers come at the right time, they can watch her
paint accompanied by one or more of her four
rescued cats. If she is not in her studio, she
is offering service and knowledge to anyone
that walks through the door.
I want people to love what they get here,
and then come back for more, said Gambrill.
carmens gallery sits in a beautiful waterfront setting located at 14550 Solomons Island Rd., Solomons. Their hours are Tuesday
through Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or by appointment. For

Jonathan DeHaven continued

his mid season surge as he scored
the win in last Saturday nights
30-lap Limited Late Model feature at Winchester Speedway.
The win for DeHaven, worth
$1,500, was his second win in
a row and fifth of the season
aboard his Swartz chassis, PJ1
Race Cars, no.13D.
The re-draw placed Brian
Booze and Bruce Kane on the
front-row with Kane jumping
into the early race lead. Kanes
lead would last only one lap as
Brian Wright zipped past Kane
to become the new pace setter
on the second circuit. As Wright
lead, fifth-starting Jonathan DeHaven settled into second and
the race was on. As the duo
raced side by side and in and
out of lapped cars, DeHaven
was able to overhaul Wright on
lap-25 and lead the remaining
laps to collect his sixth overall
feature win of the 2015 season.
That sure was a lot of fun racing with Brian for the win out
here tonight. DeHaven stated in
his track side interview. Those
lapped cars got pretty hairy and
I wasnt sure which of us was going to mess up first trying to get
by them, but Brian drove a great
race and Im glad we were able
to get by him and get the win.
A multi grooved surface played
a factor in DeHavens winning
drive. Greg had this place perfect again tonight. DeHaven
remarked. Our car came to life
after halfway and we were able
to move all over the race track
and find where our car was working the best. Wright held tough
for second, Travis Stickley was
third,17th starting Wesley Bonebrake took fourth with Tyler
Horst rounding out the top-five.
Heats for the 18 entries went to
Kevin Deremer and Bruce Kane.
Darin Henderson wired the
field to collect his third win of
the season in the 20-lap RUSH
Crate Late Model headliner.
Henderson, who lined up second for the start, darted into the
race lead on lap-one and would
lead the distance to post his fifth
overall checkered flag of the season in RUSH competition. Its
been a rough couple of months.
Said Henderson. We wrecked
this car the last time out at Potomac and the guys worked their
guts out getting this thing ready
and to win the first time back out
with it is just awesome. Trans-
16 on Saturday Night! The event also features lots

of activities on Saturday Night including a Corn
Hole Tournament, Ice Cream Social, and Juniors

Twin Beach Players

Presents: 10th Annual Kids
Playwriting Festival
By Taylor DeVille
Staff Writer
Celebrating our communitys youth is

a great way to encourage them to try harder and reach further when pursuing their
dreams. The 10th Annual Kids Playwriting Festival (KPF) achieves exactly that by
allowing six young writers to bring their
imagination to life onstage.
KPF is one of the most anticipated events
from Twin Beach Players. We start prepping in January, said Twin Beach Players
Youth Director Sherry Lehnen. March is
about the time we start working with our
youth. By the end of April, were telling
them whose entries have won, we hold auditions, a week later we do casting, and from
that point on we start rehearsing. The youth
is completely involved in all aspects of the
playwriting festival.
This season, out of 29 entries from Maryland youth, six were chosen as the winners.
We have an unbiased panel of about four
to five judges who review them, explained
Lehnen. They go through [the entries], they
have a few things they score the plays for, like
the content, and if they think its producible
and possible to put onstage. The six winners
will each receive a $100 reward.
This season, the six winners include two elementary school students, two middle school
students, and two high school students.
My play is about a successful filmmaker/
writer who has recently put on a very successful [show] and now hes under a lot of
pressure to write the sequel, said 15-year-old
Cameron Walker, one of this years KPF winners. This sort of dark entity comes into his
life to mess things up, and he has to fight that
and fix things, basically.
According to Lehnen, almost all of the
past festival winners have gone on to pursue
theatre in college. It was this festival that
gave me the idea to playwright, said Matthew Konerth, a three-time KPF winner in
Calvert Marine Museum (14200

Solomons Island Rd., Solomons)

last show, Sherlock Holmes and the Most
Amazing Case. This is where I really found
out that I am a playwright and its what Im
best at.
KPF helps aspiring playwrights and directors get started cultivating their skills, but its
first and foremost a safe-and-fun-haven
for kids and teens. The camaraderie here
is amazing, the teamwork, the friendships,
said Lehnen. One of the biggest factors for
my son was that he could come here and be
himself. Everyone can go up there and be
what they want to be.

From my Backyard to our Bay

A St. Marys County Residents Guide to Improving Our Environment and Drinking Water
From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest land is important to the overall
health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies
a forest transitional zone, where the
dominant tree species vary from oak/
hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red
maple and loblolly pine.
Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including
structural lumber, crates, shelving
and furniture, flooring, mulch, and
pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
cases, provide these products while
