We Protect Anne Arundel County’s Land and Water
Scenic Rivers Land Trust is dedicated to protecting the forests, wetlands, farmlands and other open spaces that make Anne Arundel County special.
We use conservation easements to protect our natural and scenic lands from development and facilitate financial incentives for property owners who conserve their land.

Landowner Testimonial
Landowner: Patricia Melville
Property: 53.4 acres of open fields, woodlands, tidal marsh and emergent wetlands in Lothian, Md.
My husband and I purchased the land because it had a combination of open and forested areas. The marsh along the creek was an added bonus. I especially appreciate the variety of habitat so necessary for wildlife, especially birds. The land provides spaces for walking, birding, and bird banding.
