Website for Mark S. Garland
Garland Cunningham LLC
As you probably know, Mark Garland is a naturalist who leads lots of field trips and tours (biography here). While he is now mostly retired, he still plans to lead a few field trips and give a few presentations each year for the foreseeable future. This website is designed to provide information about upcoming activities along with photo-filled reports of recent field trips. Currently we are not leading tours for any organizations, just planning and running the occasional trip for private groups. Get a few friends together if you'd like for us to plan and/or lead a trip for your group.

HOME SWEET HOME
Like everyone else, I stayed close to home for almost all of 2020. Fortunately home is Cape May, and I always took my camera along on my daily walks. Enjoy the cycle of a year in Cape May through photographs here.
