Recreational Oystering Helps Chesapeake Watermen
Chesapeake Bay oystermen, facing dwindling harvests, turn to recreational oystering offering landlubbers a $50 ride on skipjacks and bay boats. Capt Andrew McCown leads trips teaching tonging, marine biology, and cooking, while crews like Wade Murphy rely on paying passengers to keep boats afloat as oyster yields plummet from about 15 million to under 100 thousand bushels.

Maryland tree farms seek green season momentum
In Western Maryland Marshall Stacy tied the year’s largest tree, a 452 foot 7 inch Douglas fir, with mule twine, a seven hour effort by 14 workers. Trees from his Garrett County farm shipped to New York City, Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington. Maryland hosts over 175 choose and cut farms amid growing discounters and fresh competition. Environmental notes favor real trees, though artificial options rise, while rental trees falter and pricing averages about 25 for top grades.
