Spring Equinox Hike

Join Jug Bay Volunteer and Maryland Master Naturalist, Mike Quinlan, to welcome in the new spring season and enjoy a rare, after hours visit to the Sanctuary. The official change in season from winter to spring occurs on Friday, March 20, 2026, at 10:46 a.m., and is called the Vernal or Spring Equinox. The Vernal Equinox marks the turning point when the amount of daylight exceeds the amount of darkness in a 24 hour day. We’ll look for signs of Spring and end at the Observation Deck to watch a beautiful sunset.
