Marshy Point Nature Center Council's research chair is calling for all of those who love and appreciate history to make their voice heard and request Baltimore County Recreation and Parks to appoint an archaeologist and researcher on their county staff. Other counties have this benefit and we should be no different. There is a need for clear direction of how preservation and conservation will take place. Currently, there are no standardized means within this Department for protection within the parks. The MPNCC has been fortunate enough to have the help of the Archeological Society of Maryland (ASM) and the newly created chair position but is it imperative for our Municipal leaders to share in this undertaking. Volunteerism and organizations such as the ASM should always be welcome along with public effort. We must have responsibility within Baltimore County Recreation and Parks offices towards safeguarding history, with clear direction of how preservation and conservation will take place.
To speak your mind, our County has town hall meetings with the public to discuss the FY25 budget and what citizens feel are important to include. You can email your concerns to these Town Halls at townhall@baltimorecountymd.gov, or to our County Executive, John A. Olszewski, Jr., at johnnyo@baltimorecountymd.gov.
District 5’s next town hall meeting will be hosted on Wednesday, March 6, 2024, from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM at Perry Hall High School. If you have only 5 minutes to spare, please email these two addresses with the calling to, “Save our History with an Archaeologist and Researcher on Baltimore County Recreation and Parks Staff!.”
