Pickering Creek Audubon Center is dedicated to community-based conservation of natural resources through environmental education and outreach on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The Center’s property features a variety of habitats including mature hardwood forest, fresh and brackish marsh, meadow, tidal and non-tidal wetlands, over a mile of shoreline on a tidal creek, and cropland. Two hundred and seventy acres are devoted to low impact “best management practice” agriculture. The farmed acreage of Pickering Creek is its link to the significant farming heritage of the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

The Oxford Amateur Racing Series was founded on the concept of fun, and is open to all skippers sailing boats with a minimum overall length of 18 feet. In its current format the fleet starts as one but is scored in two divisions: spinnaker and non-spinnaker. Races are held off the Tred Avon Yacht Club on Friday evenings, with a start time of 6:15 PM, earlier as the days get shorter in September — see Race Instructions. There is no format for filing protests in OARS competition. Participants are expected to know the racing rules and abide by them.
