Membership FAQ's
Where can I use my parking hang tag?
-
Your parking hang tag only applies to the Fair Hill Nature Center’s parking lot for Nature Center events. Our lot is on the north side of Tawes Drive, directly across from the Nature Center building. All other parking lots require a State Park pass or payment at the honor box.
Is my membership the same as a State Park pass?
-
No. Your membership benefits, including the parking hang tag, only apply to Fair Hill Nature Center. All other parking and activities led by rangers in Fair Hill NRMA are part of the State Park system through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. State Park passes, as well as information on hunting and fishing, can be obtained at the Fair Hill NRMA office.
