We are pleased to welcome our 59th and 60th registered municipalities to the Sustainable Maryland program.

Denton Community Garden

The Town of Denton is the county seat of Caroline County and is our third municipality in the County to join the program. Located along the Choptank River, Denton is home to Summerfest, an annual celebration in the historic downtown. Martinak and Tuckahoe State Parks offer many hiking trails, canoe launches, fishing spots and seasonal events, and five smaller municipal parks provide additional recreational opportunities for residents. The Downtown Denton Farmers Market and "Third Thursdays" events draw locals and visitors alike to Denton's historic Main Street, and the Denton Community Garden is located right next to Town Hall. Clean renewable energy from a recently installed 519-kilowatt solar project power will be used by Denton to offset a portion of its electric utility's electricity consumption.

The Town of Walkersville is our eighth municipality in Frederick County to join the Sustainable Maryland program. A community food bank operates in the Town Hall, where residents can also drop off bulk recyclable items twice each month. Four municipal parks offer residents a variety of recreation opportunities, including Walkersville Community Park, which features a walking and fitness trail. Celebrating the area's local historic railroad heritage, the nearby Walkersville Southern Railroad offers scenic train rides in the nearby historic Monacacy Valley.
