We'd be remiss if we didn't mention our tough diamondback terrapins on Day 4 of #12DaysofShopMaryland. Gift some @Univ_System_MD apparel for a loved one, or donate to @PreservationMD to support their restoration of the Bay, home to many beloved terps: https://t.co/1hulaxLdz9

The Mobility Report shows how essential open space is. From forests & farm fields to your local city park, open space happens when lands are permanently set aside & protected for the benefit of our environment, for our local economies, for us. What's your favorite park in MD?
