Out of Place & Time
It's like visiting a lost world as you walk through Cranesville Swamp. Known as a "frost pocket," this ancient leftover from the ice age contains plants that aren't found anywhere else in the state -- and haven't been, for the last 10,000 years or so.
Outdoor Adventures
Eco-tourism sounds like a new word to many people, but it's really just a new twist on an old idea: playing in Maryland's beautiful and diverse out-of-doors. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources wants more Marylanders to enjoy the recreational opportunities across the state, and the department's Nita Settina takes viewers across the state biking, canoeing and fly fishing to showcase some of the possibilities.
Humming in the Garden
It's easier than you ever thought to attract hummingbirds to your own backyard! The Ruby Throated Humming bird is Maryland's native species. It weighs only a tenth of an ounce and is attracted to nectar supplied by native plants or attentive homeowners. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources' Wild Acres program helps homeowners attract wildlife to their own backyards, such as different species of Hummingbirds.
