This year-long educational initiative is designed to engage Calvert County residents with accessible, informative, and inspiring presentations on environmental topics relevant to Southern Maryland. This series will feature expert-led, one-hour lectures at local locations such as public libraries, community nature centers, and non-profit organizations that would be willing to host public participation. Each lecture will be free and open to the public, aiming to foster environmental stewardship and community-based environmental learning. 

In addition to the lectures, the events will showcase local research projects and assessments relating to the natural sciences that have taken place in Southern Maryland – especially the small grant projects that CPNHT supports as well as other volunteer based activities that are contributing to the improvement of the environmental health of our local ecosystem. These showcases would be in in short presentation format, held to a 30 minute length and presented before the primary speaker presentation.
