What a day for a bike ride! 🚴🌧️😅

Thank you to everyone who joined Team Scenic Rivers for the Lifeline 100 on Sunday! It wasn’t the beautiful fall ride day we’ve come to love, but it was one we’ll never forget. Rain. Cold. Wind. And you SHOWED UP anyway!

A huge THANK YOU to every sponsor, rider, fundraiser, volunteer, and supporter who helped make the day such a success. Together, sponsorships, rider fundraising, and registrations raised more than $33,000 to support Scenic Rivers and our work to protect the places we love! 💚

And we owe a special shout-out to Debi McKibben, who raised an incredible $18,802 so far! Debi has now raised nearly $100,000 for Scenic Rivers through the Lifeline 100 since 2020. INCREDIBLE!

Rain or shine, we’re so lucky to have this team. Thank you for riding, fundraising, volunteering, cheering, sponsoring, donating, and showing up for Scenic Rivers!

Rain or shine, Debi McKibben is riding today!

Our friend and longtime Scenic Rivers champion Debi McKibben is back on the road for the Lifeline 100, and she’s less than $1,500 away from her $20,000 fundraising goal!

There’s a pretty amazing milestone on the line, too. If Debi reaches her goal, she’ll have raised $100,000 for Scenic Rivers since 2020. 💚

So, while she’s out there braving the rain today, let’s help push her over the finish line! If you’ve ever thought, “I should donate to Debi’s ride,” today is the day. 😉

Help Debi reach $20,000: https://4agc.com/fundraiser_pages/64fcca05-c8ba-443c-abbe-997bd4b2bf1e

And a HUGE good-luck shoutout to all of our Scenic Rivers riders and fundraisers heading out today! Thank you for riding, fundraising, cheering, volunteering, and showing up for the places we all love. We’ll be cheering you on every mile of the way!

Go Team Scenic Rivers! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️💚🌧️

Taking a moment to celebrate a success in Denver with our partners at Maryland Reentry Resource Center and Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council! 💚

It’s been so much fun to share our GroundWork program with our land conservation community at LTA’s Rally, and just as much fun to spend the week learning and connecting with people from across the country.

We’re so grateful for great partners and a week of learning together. Excited to head home with new skills & fresh ideas we can bring back to our work in Anne Arundel County.

Stewardship season is here! 🌿

Last week, we held our Land Stewards Training at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Philip Merrill Environmental Center, a LEED Platinum building on land conserved by Scenic Rivers. 💚 Volunteers also picked up their Land Steward swag, including new vests and caps!

Throughout the season, our stewards visit 2-5 easement properties, documenting observations and changes. Annual monitoring helps us stay connected with landowners and their properties while ensuring conservation values are upheld. We use the cutting-edge “Landscape: Land Conservation Software” to create the most accurate reports possible.

🏡 Landowners: Keep an eye on your inboxes! You'll either receive an email or letter in the coming months if your property is scheduled for monitoring.

🌱 Land Stewards: If you couldn't attend the training, no worries! Check your inbox for an email with the information shared.

Interested in becoming a Land Steward? We'd love to have you join us! Reach out for more information:
