Our Mission

The mission of the Natural History Society of Maryland is to foster stewardship of Maryland’s natural heritage by conserving its natural history collections, educating its citizenry, and inspiring its youth to pursue careers in the natural sciences.

We do this by supporting its natural history organizations and working towards the development of a permanent, comprehensive natural history museum in the State of Maryland.
