On Saturday, March 26, 2022, at 5 PM, the Tilghman Watermen’s Museum will host a talk by Kris Motley, Senior Environmental Specialist for the Maryland Environment Science at the Tilghman Island Volunteer Hall. Learn about Poplar Island’s unique story and continuing habitat success.
Poplar Island is an environmental restoration project located in the Chesapeake Bay in Talbot County, Maryland. The beneficial use project, started in the 1990’s, relies on dredges material collected from the approach channels to the Baltimore Harbor. Over 400 acres of wetland habitat has been restored. Upland habitat and additional habitat are planned, and the island is slated to be completed in the 2040’s.
Admission is free. Light refreshments will follow. For more information, contact the museum via email at [email protected] or 410-886-2930.
The Tilghman Watermen’s Museum is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization celebrating, documenting, preserving and sharing the history, traditions, heritage and culture of Tilghman Island.
