We are pleased to welcome the Town of Leonardtown to the Sustainable Maryland program! A community of 2,900 and the county seat of St. Mary's County, Leonardtown has recently undergone a renaissance in its historic downtown, with new shops and restaurants attracting visitors from across the region.  The transformation of the Leonardtown Wharf into a public park, including a canoe launch, water trail and forest preserve for hiking and bird-watching, has been a signature project. An annual Earth Day Celebration offers demonstrations and exhibits on organic gardening, recycling, reducing energy use and healthy living. Efforts are afoot to make the town more walkable and bikeable with new sidewalks and bike lanes. And the local farmers market and First Friday events like the Art Walk animate the newly designated Arts & Entertainment District throughout the year.

We look forward to working with Leonardtown!
