The American Chestnut Land Trust (ACLT) has welcomed geocaching for many years and the Maryland Geocaching Society (MGS) has participated in their Family Fun Day since 2007. Again, in 2015, the MGS will have a booth and will give geocaching demonstrations. You are seeking a traditional cache; a clear Lock & Lock, clearly marked and stocked with a variety of trinkets.
The American Chestnut Land Trust protects over 3,000 acres of wetlands, forest and farmland in rapidly developing Calvert County, Maryland. ACLT maintains 19 miles of self-guided hiking trails. The public is welcome to enjoy ACLT's trails but we ask that you sign-in at the trail-head and follow all ACLT rules.
The crown jewel of our land trust is Parkers Creek—the Calvert Cliffs and sandy shoreline in the vicinity of the mouth of Parkers Creek look much the same today as they did 400 years ago when Captain John Smith explored the Chesapeake Bay. A visitor today can still paddle a canoe over a mile and a half through unspoiled salt marshes and wooded freshwater wetlands and see little sign of human activity.
The American Chestnut Land Trust (ACLT) is a local land trust located in Calvert County, Maryland, an hour's drive from both Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. We invite you to explore ACLT's self-guided hiking trails on your own, join one of our guided canoe trips, or attend one of the activities included in our Calendar of Events to experience our beautiful 3,000-acre preserved area for yourself. We also invite you to get involved in protecting the most pristine watershed on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
