Sponsorship Deadline: Friday, March 22, 2024

Scenic Rivers Land Trust is pleased to offer sponsorship opportunities for the19th annual Walk for the Woods scheduled for Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Bacon Ridge Natural Area in Crownsville.

Our partners Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks will join us in offering a wonderful opportunity to hike and explore this beautiful wilderness just minutes from downtown Annapolis.

We anticipate another beautiful day in our local, protected woods!

Bacon Ridge Natural Area’s 1,000+ acres are graced with upland streams, lily-filled ponds, nesting birds, spring wildflowers, and 15+ miles of trails. Attendees will access the natural area via Farm Road (an access point typically not open to the public). Experts in wildlife, native plants, birds, history, and more will lead guided hikes throughout the day. Plus, a self-led hike will be offered, complete with trail maps and educational signage posted along the trails.

Your sponsorship of Walk for the Woods allows Scenic Rivers to continue to host this popular, FREE, family-friendly outdoor community event that typically brings more than 300 residents into our natural world. And, your sponsorship ensures that Scenic Rivers can continue conserving and protecting the open lands that are critical to our community’s future.

For over 35 years, Scenic Rivers has worked with landowners to permanently protect over 3,700 acres of land through conservation easements. Once such conservation agreements are in place, we assist landowners in the ongoing stewardship of their land. Our work safeguards critical wildlife habitat in the woodlands, protects the water quality of nearby streams and rivers, remembers and conserves historical sites, and preserves local farmland.

The community loves this event and we are certain that many will be eager to join us for a beautiful spring day outdoors. Sponsors will receive recognition through signage, shirts, word of mouth, and programmatic information. We hope that you, your family, coworkers, and friends can join us for a great Walk on Saturday, April 27th from 7 am to 3 pm.

If you have any questions about this event or Scenic Rivers Land Trust, please contact the Development & Communications Officer, Erin Valentine at 919-649-1727 or Erin@SRLT.org.
