COMMITTED TO PROTECTING

OUR HABITAT

This project ended up being a 5-year long emotional rollercoaster. Reaching out to the owners we had low expectations of a purchase agreement due to location and property size. After years of negotiations and a plethora of highs and lows, the result was more than we could have imagined. Click to read a more in-depth account of how everything transpired.

Spring Easement Tour 2026

We were honored to host Scenic Rivers Land Trust's 2026 Spring Easement Tour. Sixteen guests joined us for a 2.5-hour event that featured a one-mile guided hike, followed by an incredible meal catered by Garten to close out the evening.

The weather couldn’t have been better, allowing us to highlight some of the property’s most special points of interest, including the County Champion Hickory, the beautiful Mathias Cove shoreline, and our white oak bridge. Guests also had the opportunity to learn about local wildlife, with visits to two active fox dens and displays of coyote prey remains.

We are grateful to everyone who attended and gave us the opportunity to share our passion for, and stewardship of, this land. To continue the experience, we’ve created a 30-minute slideshow showcasing the animals and habitats that make this property so unique.

A PERSONAL PROJECT

Bridging the Land

Our original land adjoins this property, but a marshy wetland and stream separated the two. We built a white oak bridge across the wetlands to connect the properties while preserving the surrounding habitat.

We chose natural materials and took great care during construction to minimize disturbance to the environment. The result is a beautiful bridge that provides access to the land and will serve us for years to come.

PIGNUT HICKORY

A COUNTY CHAMPION

One of many surprises we were blessed with discovering was a County Champion Pig Nut Hickory. Measuring more than 10-feet in circumference and over 100-feet tall, this tree is a site to behold. Read more in the link below about this tree and how it measures up to some others in the state of Maryland.
