Learn about and observe the natural ecosystems of Maryland’s Coastal Plain on an expert–led walk, identifying as many species as possible along the way. These walks are fun and fact-filled.

Biodiversity Walks are led by Jim Brighton, co-founder and President of the Maryland Biodiversity Project, which documents the flora and fauna of Maryland.

Jim was the University of Maryland’s Chesapeake Champion in 2017 and the Maryland DNR Conservationist of the Year in 2019. Jim promotes community science and education by helping to build a vibrant nature study community.
