SUSTAINING A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT


DISCOVER OUR STORY
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.

THE WIDE VARIETY OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS THAT CALL OUR PROPERTY HOME


A PERSONAL PROJECT
BRIDGING THE LAND
Our original land is contiguous with this property, but was separated by a marshy wetland and stream. To preserve the integrity of the surroundings and allow access to the property, a natural bridge was built to span the wetlands. Great care was taken to use natural materials and minimal impact to the environment. The result was a beautiful white oak bridge that will last for years to come. Follow the link below for a picture story of the build.


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.

Invasive Removal
WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON

An ongoing project to remove invasive species brought in by years of illegal dumping.
Oaks, maples, and a few other natives will be planted this fall.
Stream banks and beds will be restored to allow fish and aquatic life to thrive.
