Connecting People to the Land
Since its inception in 1986, ACLT has been providing environmentally sustainable public access to managed properties for educational, scientific, recreational, and cultural purposes. ACLT's 26 miles of trails crisscross creeks and streams and meander through wildlands and a variety of forest types, offering the visitor an opportunity to witness wildlife in its natural environment. ACLT and its partners have preserved over 4800 acres of land in the Parkers Creek and Governors Run watersheds. ACLT promotes land conservation and preservation throughout Southern Maryland. Guided hikes, canoe trips, and events are offered throughout the year. ACLT also manages a small farm that uses regenerative practices to raise produce that is donated to the local food pantry.

This is a studio painting I did based on photographs I took at the North Side Trailhead of their beautiful gardens. The sunflower is the flower symbol of summer and the Hyacinth bean was introduced to America from North Africa in the 1700's. I first saw them in Thomas Jefferson's garden at Monticello. The title of the painting: Summer Colors. #artforallseasons #acltnorthtrailhead #HELIANTHUS #HyacinthBeans #sunflowers #oilpainting #oil #flowers #flowerpainting ...
