Recent Happenings
Frederick In The Streets
SCCG set up a table at the In the Streets celebration in downtown Frederick on Saturday, September 19. We engaged with many Frederick County and surrounding area residents, educating about the Bottle Bill and other issues of concern. It was a beautiful day and a good time was had by all!
Charlotte's Quest Nature Fest
Sierra Club Catoctin Group participated in the Charlotte's Quest Nature Fest on Saturday, July 11.. This free, family-friendly event in northern Carroll County was one where families could "get dirty, get curious, and get outside!" There were many activities for kids and presentations about nature, as well as music and a petting zoo. A thunderstorm cut the evening short, but it was still a successful and fun event!
Frederick Pride
Catoctin Group joined the celebration at Frederick Pride along Carroll Creek in Frederick on Saturday, June 21. Presented by the Frederick Center, this event welcomed everyone to celebrate the entire community with love and pride. There were performances, a food court of the best local food trucks, hand-picked musical guests, hundreds of local vendors and nonprofit organizations, a designated beverage garden with the top local breweries and wineries, a pride shop, a children's area, and more!
"Green" Burials Presentation
Although none of us like to think about the fact that we won't always be here, Sierra Club Catoctin Group hosted the co-founders of Morris Orchard on May 21 at Attaboy Beer for a conversation about natural burial. It was fascinating to learn about options that have only recently become available for us to continue making a positive impact on our planet even after we're gone. Located on a 65-year-old chestnut orchard, Morris Orchard is the first natural burial ground in Frederick County. Natural burial practices at the Orchard are designed to minimize environmental impact, support healthy ecosystems and create a lasting legacy of stewardship for generations to come. If you missed our talk, call of visit the Orchard, or stay tuned for a possible future field trip!
Frederick County Master Gardeners Earth Fest
Sierra Club Catoctin Group hosted a table at EarthFest 2026 on Saturday, May 30, 2026. Presented by the Master Gardeners of Frederick County, Earthfest is a celebration of our relationship with the natural world. This was an opportunity for folks to learn about the Master Gardener and 4-H programs, other local nonprofits, and relevant Frederick County government agencies. This family-friendly event included many activities geared towards children, such as flower crafts, Buzzin' Through the Garden, and Storytime in the Garden. There were displays inside and outside the University of Maryland Extension Building and tours of the Demonstration Gardens.
Roadside Litter Cleanups in Frederick and Carroll Counties
Sierra Club Catoctin Group held two litter cleanups this Spring, one in Frederick County and one in Carroll. We are continuing to collect data showing how much our state would benefit from a Bottle Bill. From these two cleanups, at least 8 bags of litter might not have been necessary if Maryland passed the Beverage Container Deposit and Litter Reduction Bill. It didn't happen during this past legislative session, but we will try again next year! So please join our fight and let your state legislators know you support this bill.
