Conservation aspects of properties along

Whitaker Mill Road and straddling High Branch stream

From the High Branch Bridge down to Winters Run, the Lacetera, Abremski, Clarke, and Hicks properties are natural preserves with smaller streams, wetlands, and bramble areas providing support for birds and other wildlife, a source of clean air, and a filter for our water supply and the Chesapeake Bay watershed as well.

    High Branch stream on Lacetera property               One of the small ponds hosting aquatic life

       Rock formation on Lacetera property                                     typical swampy area

 just north of very similar Abremski property

                and Whitaker Mill property,

               pool areas act as small ponds

We don't want this to disappear or be damaged by overstressing our water table.
