Join Manor Mill and the Preservation Alliance of Baltimore County on the fourth Tuesday of each month for a free meeting to discuss the many avenues and practices of preservation. We will be joined by preservation experts in fields such as American architecture, timber framing, masonry, window restoration, cemetery history and headstone cleaning, and many more. If you have a passion or interest in historic build preservation, this is the event for you to get involved and learn more!

May 27th Topic – Preserving our Land: Grow Clean Water in Your Backyard with Gunpowder Valley Conservancy
Did you know that adding native plants to your landscape can directly benefit the health of our
local waterways? This spring, Manor Mill is installing conservation gardens in partnership with
Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC) to reduce stormwater runoff to nearby Charles Run.
Learn more about the Manor Mill gardens and how you too can grow clean water at your
home!
Take your environmental stewardship to the next level by preserving your property for future
generations. As a Baltimore County-based land trust, GVC has preserved over 2,000 acres
within the Gunpowder Watershed. GVC currently has funds through the Maryland Rural Legacy
Program to protect high-value open space, working lands, and ecologically significant areas
within the Monkton area.
