Scenic River Land Trust Acquires 630 Acre Easement

The Scenic River Land Trust(SRLT) primary mission is the acquisition of conservation easements to help protect open space and the watersheds of our rivers.mLast week, SRLT and Maryland Environmental Trust Boards approved a conservation easement on 630 acres in the South River Greenway in Crownsville! This will become a County park for passive recreational use for the public.

With this wonderful space, the SRLT has an opportunity for a number of activities for the public.   They still need volunteers for the South River Greenway tree-planting on October 25th from 10:00 a.m. -2:00 p.m. Here’s your chance to get some exercise in the fresh air and leave your mark as over 1200 trees restore 4 acres along the headwaters of Bacon Ridge Branch. Families with children are welcome with adult supervision. Please wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves and/or shovels (marked with your name) if you have them. Directions follow.
