Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Severn Run Natural Environment Area is a protected area located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Covering a series of wooded hills and winding streams, the area is a peaceful spot for outdoor enthusiasts seeking hiking, bird-watching, and general immersion in nature. The area is part of the larger Patuxent River watershed and features diverse flora and fauna, including large tracts of deciduous forest and wetlands that support a variety of bird species and small mammals. Historically, this area has served as a natural corridor for Native American tribes and early settlers. Today, the area's network of trails offers opportunities to explore both the local environment and the remnants of cultural history found in old homestead sites. Noteworthy is the tranquility of its forests and the accessible yet surprisingly complex network of trails that allow for both short excursions and longer treks. The Severn Run draws visitors for its serene atmosphere and the chance to encounter wildlife and plant species in their natural habitat.
