01/18/2016 – Volunteer at a MLK Jr. Day of Service Event this weekend!

Montgomery Parks is very excited to once again take part in the MLK Jr. Day of Service.  We’re looking forward to another great weekend of service this winter on January 16-18, 2016.

Last year, more than 500 volunteers joined us in celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service by cleaning up our parks and streams, and by removing non-native invasive plants and saving the forest!  Let’s see if we can do even more this year!

Go to http://www.montgomeryparks.org/team/mlk_jr_day.shtm to see the growing list of events where YOU can help out!  Keep checking back as we get closer to the date.

02/07/2016 – Maple Sugaring Days

February is Maple Sugaring Month at Brookside Nature Center. Every Saturday and Sunday you’ll have an opportunity to experience an American tradition: maple sugaring! Watch the whole maple sugaring process from start to finish. See sap drip from trees and taste it. Watch us boil it down into sweet maple syrup, then sample a tasty treat. Join in the fun and activities and learn something new at this family-friendly program! Space is limited so pre-registration is encouraged.
