The PACE 2009 theme, Think Green: Think Mountain Maryland, will showcase the green aspects - past, present, and future - of Mountain Maryland.

Mountain Maryland possesses intrinsic, green attributes: pristine native species forests, clean, roaring rivers, pure, fresh air and more.

Mountain Maryland's actions demonstrate our commitment to the future: LEED building practices, recycling and solid waste reduction efforts, organic farming, forestry management, environmentally friendly wastewater management biological pest control and more.

Mountain Maryland is indeed fortunate to be green by nature, and with individual and group stewardship, Mountain Maryland can be the epitome of green in the 21st century and beyond.
