Accident Investigation Course

The challenge to any accident investigator is to report the findings in a well-thought-out manner to ensure management will ultimately adopt recommendations for improving its safety management system, thus solving problems long-term. It's a common struggle trying to overcome long-held perceptions about safety and how accidents occur.
This course introduces you to basic accident investigation procedures that have proven effective. We will also take a look at various accident analysis techniques.

Designing Recreation and Trails to Support Climate Resilience

Wednesday, August 14
3:00 PM EDT

Recent enhancements to the Prison Hill Recreation Area in Carson City, NV, included many features designed to increase recreation value and resource sustainability. The Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department worked with community members and partners to design and implement projects to increase accessibility, and develop both a non-motorized trail system and an OHV riding area that is resilient to weather events and reduces wildfire risks. This session will highlight the results of turning an unsustainable resource into one that provides benefits to both people and the land.

Natural History Society of Maryland Programs

Stratford Cliffs Fossil Hunt

Saturday, August 24
9:00 AM - 3:30 PM EDT
$30 for NHSM Member, $40 for Non Members

Stratford Cliffs are a part of the Calvert Formation, a rare geological phenomenon along the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. Among the most important fossil research sites in the Mid-Atlantic region, the cliffs were formed when land replaced an ancient sea. This field trip is moderately strenuous, involving hiking, cold water, and uncertain weather. Depending on what storms may have impacted the river, there could be washed-up trees and debris on the beach, as well as broken glass. There could be a few scramble spots. However, if you do not want to climb over obstacles, you can remain on the beach that is accessible to you. This is a rain-or-shine event.
