Volunteers Celebrate Mother's Day Weekend in the Marshes of Blackwater On May 12th, sixteen volunteers and 9 staff people of Pickering Creek and Blackwater Wildlife Refuge planted 4850 Spartina alterniflora plants in the marshes along Wildlife Drive at Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. Volunteers and staff alike enjoyed giggling at themselves and with friends as they got stuck in the mud, giving back to one of Maryland's most unique habitats and working with friends and family towards the common challenge of getting 5000 plants in the soft muddy ground. A pizza lunch pulled volunteers away from getting the last 150 plants in the ground. Thank you to all those who participated, and to those we missed-- we hope to see you next time!

Spring Haiku
The wood thrush arrives
in May with its flute-like song
Thoreau's favorite.

Chorus of peepers
I have waited twelve long months
for this sweet moment

A Carolina Wren
built her nest in the sail bag-
I was late that Spring
