The Accokeek Foundation is deeply grateful for Congressman Steny Hoyer, Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen, and Congressman Glenn Ivey’s support for our work for Piscataway Park and the community we serve.
I'm proud to lead my colleagues in sending a letter to @SecDebHaaland and @Interior advocating for increased funding for @Accokeek at Piscataway Park.

Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day by uplifting our Native Power!
What is Native Power? It’s a tradition of excellence we all carry and have the opportunity to recognize and celebrate every day.

🍁🍂Maryland Fall Foliage Report – Rainy days provided much needed moisture to areas experiencing drought conditions. This last batch of rain won’t be enough to offset the previous weeks of dry weather and it has made an impact on #foliage in the region. ow.ly/tR7w50PRagB

DNR’s Brooke Landry teamed up with NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) and volunteers to survey submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) at Mallows Bay last week. A diverse community of freshwater grasses growing lush in clear water was the scene for the day! #SAV #mallowsbay
