The pollinator meadow at the Lawrence Preserve will be at its peak for the Harvest Party, providing a beautiful backdrop for the afternoon. Entry to the event is free and there will be food and beverages for sale.  Guests are welcome to bring their own picnic, blanket, and non-alcoholic beverages.  

“This October marks the one-year anniversary of the opening of the Lawrence Preserve,” commented Preserve Manager, John Mann.  “In that time the Preserve has welcomed over 20,000 guests and become an integral part of the Chestertown landscape.  The Harvest Party is our way of celebrating what the Preserve brings to the entire community.” 

The Lawrence Wetland Preserve is a walk-in facility (no onsite parking) located at 301 South Mill Street in Chestertown.  Visitors are encouraged to park in the public lots on the 300 block of Cannon Street or on the surrounding streets.
