When the going gets tough...
It was HOT out on the Severn this week doing water quality monitoring ahead of this storm!

We got several six-packs this week! What a great way to start the New Year with good friends and a great local beer!

Thanks ABC!
Cheers!

IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER...This Partridgeberry (Mitchella repens) bedecks the stream bank in our ongoing Jabez Reach 3 Stream restoration in the Severn's headwaters. This cheery and delicate vine holds the promise of summer blooms and reminds us that this perennial native can be found in our forests and bottomlands and other wet habitats

We toured the eroded Jabez 3 with the neighbors of the Stream Restoration and explained the final plans. They are looking forward to a positive change!

This project is a partnership with the Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.

Stay tuned!

We are your restoration “boots on the ground”. Or rather, boots in the mud 🥾

We celebrated the one-year completion date of the Belvoir Farm Pond Stream and Wetland Complex construction by installing our 4 new interpretive signs that provide project information, project need, and project features such as coarse woody material and how RSCs function. Now when folks visit the project site, the walking trail that winds around the wetland will showcase the signs spread out at different points along the path. Interested in seeing the project? Contact us and we would be happy to arrange a tour.

"This is the first time any administration has acted to protect the headwaters of the Severn. The health of the headwaters determines the health of the entire river." -Fred Kelly

Two similar projects to restore part of a stream contributing considerable pollution to the Severn River headwaters began last week.
