Local farmers and watermen implement practices that show care and commitment to protecting our local environment while providing the community with safe and accessible food options. Our encouragement for you this month is to simply explore the local food source options around you and attempt to engage with the local farmers who may be your very own neighbor! Included below is a link to MCBP’s Living Local project – an environmental education initiative designed to educate the community about the beneficial environmental impacts of sustainable farming practices and encourage the consumption of local products. Below you will also find a list of local markets\, this list is not comprehensive\, and we encourage you to explore all of the potential market options near you! \nPlease visit: https://mdcoastalbays.org/the-programs/education/community-programs-and-resources/living-local/ to learn about five local farms and where to find their products and contact information. \n  \nLocal Farmer’s Markets \nOcean Pines Farmers and Artisan Market \nWhite Horse Park\, Ocean Pines\, MD \nYear Round \nSaturdays \n9:00am – 1:00pm through March 27 \n8:00am – 1:00pm beginning April 3 \n\nCamden Avenue Farmers Market \n1401 Camden Avenue\, Salisbury\, MD \nYear Round \nTuesdays\, 2:30 – 5:30 pm \n\nBerlin Farmers Market \nPitts and Commerce St.\, Berlin\, MD \nMay – September \nSundays\, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm \n\nLocal Seafood \nMartin Fish Co. \n12929 Harbor Road\, Ocean City\, MD \n410-213-2195 \nSeaborn \n12906 Harbor Road\, Ocean City\, MD \nThursday-Sunday 443-235-3448 or 443-397-2216 \nSkilligalee Seafood \nWest Ocean City Harbor \n443-235-1489 URL:https://mdcoastalbays.org/event/market-madness/ CATEGORIES:Events,Outreach,Programs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210201 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210301 DTSTAMP:20260522T190231 CREATED:20210115T005154Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210201T215647Z UID:1384-1612137600-1614556799@mdcoastalbays.org SUMMARY:Give A Day to the Bays:Field Journaling Training and iNaturalist DESCRIPTION:Nature Journaling: \nNature journaling is a priceless tool for observation\, questioning\, and for documenting curiosity.  At some point in our lives\, we all engage in journaling. Maybe that takes the form of a diary\, memory book\, or simply just taking notes. When we journal\, we preserve thoughts\, inquires\, and memories. But one of the most beneficial things to come out of journaling is the gift of slowing down. As humans\, we are constantly exploring\, and all that exploration starts with observation and questioning. Field\, or nature journaling allows us to cultivate curiosity\, focus attention\, and gives space of reflection on those amazing observations. In this video\, we encourage you to join MCBP Education Coordinator\, Liz Wist\, as she embarks on one of her favorite activities\, nature journaling!  Participants will be lead through a series of tools and tips to use field journaling as a practice in exploration. They will also be introduced to a variety of journaling activities they can conduct right in their backyards. Nature journaling is for all ages. Happy journaling! \nClick here to access the video. \n\niNaturalist: \niNaturalist is a long-term biodiversity study that is fueled by citizen science data. Simply\, that means that ANYONE can submit a photo observation of a plant or animal to the database\, and that helps scientists track and monitor species. MCBP has started their own project on iNaturalist. This project is open to anyone to join\, and it allows our organization to build an inventory of Coastal Bays species! If you are under 13\, you need guardian permission. \nThe attached video describes how to become part of this group in detail.
