Maryland's Natural Symbols

1979-08-28

Naturalist Jean Worthley and Louis L. Goldstein (then state comptroller) discuss the origins of six Maryland symbols: the state tree (white oak), flower (Black-Eyed Susan), fish (striped bass), bird (Baltimore Oriole),  insect (Baltimore Checkerspot Butterfly) and dog (Chesapeake Bay Retriever). They were filmed outdoors under the giant Wye Oak in Talbot County, believed to be over 460 years old.  (The tree was destroyed during a severe thunderstorm in 2002.)
