This is Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary on the Anne Arundel County side of the Patuxent River, just upriver opposite the Patuxent River Park-Jug Bay Natural Area on the Prince Georges County side of the river. Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary is a limited-access fee facility, open to the public by advance reservation on Wed., Sat., and Sun. from 9-5. The address is 1361 Wrighton Road, Lothian, MD. Phone (410) 741-9346. The Sanctuary has a Web Page at www.jugbay.org with details about the facilities, maps, photos, research being conducted, etc. It has excellent birding, with several blinds and an observation deck overlooking the river. Lots of trails through and along tidal and nontidal wetlands, and upland forest. The McCann Wetlands Center has exhibits dealing with wetlands. There are opportunities for volunteers to become involved with the excellent staff and other committed volunteers in a number of activities at the sanctuary, from bird studies, herps, turtle, submerged aquatic vegetation, and water quality, as well as educational, administrative, and maintenance opportunities. There are occasional public programs of interest to both children and adults. An additional 1200 acres have recently been added to the sanctuary just south of highway 4 as you cross into Anne Arundel County, but this is not yet open. Just remember: Call ahead for reservations!
