Soldiers Delight Conservation's Year-end Wrap-up
Want to know what Soldiers Delight Conservation, Inc. (SDCI) accomplished this year in service of conserving Soldiers Delight Natural Environment Area for generations to come and educating the public about this unique and diverse habitat? Here's our year-end wrap-up!
Look What We Found!
Our SDCI webmaster recently discovered this gem of a program featuring our founder, Jean Worthley, as she walks through the Soldiers Delight habitat filming an episode in the summer of 1978 for Maryland Public Television's Outdoors Maryland series. The video has been graciously provided for our use by Maryland Public Television and the University of Maryland's Maryland Public Television records, 0087-MMC, Special Collections and University Archives. Watch the video here, and remember, everything is there for your viewing pleasure, but nothing can ever be picked, harvested or removed from Soldiers Delight.

It was a hard-fought battle and there are several to thank.
