Cromwell Valley is a 426-acre stream valley park and one of the best places in Maryland for migrating birds. There are fields, woods, hedgerows, and woody piedmont hills - much diverse habitat all in one walk. The park is several miles off the Cromwell Bridge exit (Exit 29) from I-695 the Baltimore Beltway. Meet at the main parking lot from the Willow Grove entrance. Contact Tim at 410-510-7504 or timhoughton@comcast.net.
