aBOuT Our CaLEnDar: The images depicted in this calendar were taken by the MET staff and volunteers while visiting MET easement properties. Those properties illustrate the beautiful iconic landscapes that make up our state and include the mountains of Western Maryland, the hills and valleys in Baltimore County, the farms in Frederick County and the Eastern Shore to the pristine sandy beaches of the lower Eastern Shore. Thanks to our easement donors and landowners who help us steward these special places for future generations.
