Join the Hiking Cub for an outing to Rachel Carson Conservation Park.  We'll hike an easy modified loop with rolling woodlands, streams, and a meadow. RSVP to carpool.

This is a 650-acre park dedicated to environmental preservation and is one of the county’s premier conservation areas.  This park honors writer, environmental activist, and county resident Rachel Carson by conserving 650 acres in the Brookeville area of Montgomery County. Most of the park was acquired just after Ms. Carson’s death in 1964, although there were periodic acquisitions through 1990.
