NOTICE:
From March 26 to March 30, 2024, GNP meadows are on call for a scheduled prescribed burning as part of their continued management. We ANTICIPATE TUESDAY MARCH 26th will be the day of the event. Because prescribed burning is entirely weather-dependent, we will be on standby the following days for closure in case Tuesday doesn't work. The bathrooms will be closed these days due to the loss of power.
Again, this activity is entirely weather-dependent and may shift to later in the week if the wind does not cooperate. When the burn occurs, the entirety of Glendening Nature Preserve will be CLOSED, including the Wrighton Road entrance.
Please respect posted signs and do not enter on the day of the burn. Thank you!
