Walter Green III (1962-2023) founded MARNA, Maryland Area Naturist Association because he was frustrated not being welcomed as a single male at naturist venues. He started an online forum for single naturists that evolved into a non landed membership club. MARNA eventually affiliated the AANR. 1Walter Green – In Memoriam Naturist Education Foundation Newsletter June/July 2023
Green actively sought out venues to host MARNA events. Green died in January 2023 but MARNA continues to function and grow. By all accounts he set a model for non-landed clubs.2Walter Green – In Memoriam Naturist Education Foundation Newsletter June/July 2023
“ Anyone looking for the opportunity to participate in nude recreation may want to do what Walter did…start your own, build it and they will come. MARNA is a model that may be replicated across the country….and I hope will be! ” 3Nude Swims with MARNA Naturist Education Foundation March 2021
