Since 1988, the Scenic Rivers Land Trust (SRLT) has been protecting land in Anne Arundel County.  We work with landowners to safeguard their land in the manner that best suits their needs and priorities.  Our professional staff guides landowners in the creation of legal land preservation agreements that define how their property will be protected and can make them eligible for significant property tax savings, large charitable deductions and estate tax savings.  SRLT currently manages conservation easements on 50 properties, totaling over 2,200 acres. SRLT also works with Anne Arundel County and other local government entities to provide on-the-ground support and research that informs the selection of priority lands for government purchase or protection.   This work has resulted in the protection of thousands of additional acres.

Our Mission

The Scenic Rivers Land Trust works with landowners and other partners to preserve natural and scenic areas in Anne Arundel County. This work is accomplished though landowner education and holding and facilitating land protection agreements.

Our Goals

  • To identify, monitor and protect priority natural areas in the watersheds of five rivers:  Severn, South, West, Rhode and Patuxent.
  • To educate landowners, community leaders, and public officials about voluntary techniques for protecting and preserving land
  • To accept and manage conservation easements for the permanent protection of land
  • To assist in the protective stewardship of our natural resources
