Current Projects

Creating a scenic overlook with trail improvements at the Oxbow Nature Preserve will provide low-impact access to an important natural area and wetland adjacent to the Russett Community. The overlook will facilitate site enjoyment by a much wider audience of community members promoting activities such as avitourism and outdoor education. The overlook is being designed by the Anne Arundel Soil Conservation District.  Southern Maryland RC&D is providing technical assistance and grant preparation and management services.
