Walk for the Woods

Scenic Rivers Land Trust, in partnership with Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks, celebrated the 16th Walk for the Woods at the Bacon Ridge Natural Area in Crownsville on April 24. This was the first in-person event the Annapolis-based nonprofit has hosted since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The annual day of guided hikes promotes families exploring the outdoors and public access to the Bacon Ridge Natural Area, the county-owned property full of forests, wetlands, and history permanently protected by a conservation easement co-held by Scenic Rivers and Maryland Environmental Trust.
