EASTON POINT — Phillips Wharf Environmental Center is not on Tilghman Island anymore. The Tilghman campus closed during the pandemic. The center moved to the future Easton Point Park on the Tred Avon, just off the Easton Bypass and the rails-to-trails path.

The Fishmobile still rolls — a traveling tank of Bay life for school gyms that will never see a reef. Grower sign-up for the 2026/27 oyster season stays at oysters [at] phillipswharf.org. That is restoration with a waiting list, not a hashtag, and it is in Easton, not a Tilghman harbor cage map from 2021.

Pickering Creek Audubon Center covers 450 acres in central Talbot (410-822-4903): pine and hardwood, brackish marsh, restored wetlands, a mile of tidal shoreline, and more than 100 acres in low-impact farming. Chesapeake Audubon Society owns it. It is the county's No. 2 eBird hotspot, with 250-plus species, and one of the remaining holds for the Delmarva fox squirrel, federally delisted in 2015 after a recovery. School groups from eight counties use it.

If the Bay briefing reads like policy, these two places are the Saturday. Bring boots.
