This special looks back over two and half decades exploring people and places in Maryland’s great outdoors.

From the rocky ridges of Big Savage Mountain to the ponies and surf of Assateague Island, this Special marks a milestone that most television programs never reach: 25 years of shooting, writing and editing --telling the stories that we love to tell. Some of the favorite stories – one could say they’ve achieved cult status – include the search for the giant Hellbender salamander. We meet Bay watermen, a Justice of the Supreme Court and a gnarly snake wrangler. DNR scientists climb mountains, board boats and planes, and wade into swamps to show us endangered frogs and wandering black bear, fleeting cougars and endangered beetles, venomous snakes and rare orchids…and much more.
