HIKERS BEWARE! There are numerous trees down on several of the trails - some are passable and some are not. Our volunteers are working diligently to clear them asap, but please be patient - and careful! ... See MoreSee Less

Last week we announced our latest virtual event to support the ACLT. We’ve broadened our horizons from trekking the 22-miles of ACLT trails to traveling to Calvert Country’s breweries and wineries via our Passport to Preservation.

Even if you don’t partake of the wine and brew, two exclusive Facebook concerts by local musicians Longman Joseph Norris and Dylan Galvin are certainly worth the $20/person fee.

So get your passport, take some day (or evening) sojourns, and help support ACLT and Calvert County’s agri-tourism business!

And if you’re an arm-chair traveler? We’ve got you covered as well with the ultimate in room service. Two of our partners are delivery only and all sell their products at local retail stores and restaurants. So you don’t even have to leave home to get your passports stamped!

You can also help by spreading the word to your friends, neighbors, and other potential travelling companions. Don’t forget, the last day of this trip - Labor Day – is quickly approaching so start your journey now!
