Want to see some real giants? Join us on and around the C &O Canal to hike to some of the biggest known trees in Maryland, including the largest recorded tree in Maryland (a sycamore), the state champion cottonwood, and a magnificent silver maple, 22 feet in circumference. Also nearby is a national contender bitternut hickory. Carole Bergmannn (M-NCPPC Montgomery Parks Forest Ecologist and Botanist, and Forestry Board member) and Joe Howard of the Montgomery County Forestry Board will lead the walk. We'll hike about 1.5 miles along natural surface trails; please wear appropriate walking shoes. Fee includes transportation. Please register at ParkPASS.org
