Meadow

The start of the Nature Loop takes you through a meadow that is filled with flowers during the spring, summer, and fall. This meadow is an important habitat for pollinators, like Maryland’s 400+ different kinds of ground-dwelling bees. These bees build their nests by digging small holes in the ground all over the meadow. Charles County Parks has made this meadow even better by planting 19 different kinds of native plants. These plants provide food and habitat for bees, butterflies, and many other insects, helping to create an exciting ecosystem to explore.
