Impromptu (& unofficial) Sunday Chesapeake Blue Crab Census! 🦀 Nothing starts the week off right better than fully experiencing the awesome outcomes achieved through the hard work of so many amazing resource restoration & management professionals around the Chesapeake watershed. From nutrient management & agricultural best management practices to stormwater & fisheries management (and everything in between), the Chesapeake Bay continues to improve with each passing day. We at Patriot are thankful for our opportunity to play a small part in the future stewardship of this one of a kind resource. #thankful #chesapeakebay #bluecrabs #crabbing #naturalresourcemanagement #waterquality #stormwatermanagement #maryland #fisheriesmanagement #landstewardship #stewardship
Recent heavy rains have really done a number on area ponds, waterways and stormwater facilities. Patriot Crews have been busy restoring drainage functionality and repairing damage across the region in the wake of over 3 inches of rainfall in an hour. #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #landstewardship #landmanagement #pondrepair #chesapeakebay #waterquality
More milkweed visitors while out in the field today, couldn’t help but share. There’s few places as busy as the top of a milkweed patch at the right time of day 🐝🦋👍#landstewardship #naturalresourcemanagement #pollinatorgarden #pollinators #butterflies #bees #environmentalstewardship #landmanagement
The pollinator push continues for Patriot Natural Resources. Enhancement crews have been hard at work installing native pollinator plantings at a few select Maryland welcome centers around the area. We love being a part of special projects especially those that promote pollinators. Can’t wait to see these plots in full bloom sporting a host of native flying friends 💪 🐝 🐝 🦋 #landstewardship #naturalresourcemanagement #propertymanagement #pollinatorgarden #pollinators #nativeplants #maryland @visitmaryland
It’s not often we stumble across earth shattering events so when we do we sure do love to share. As many of our followers know, Sugarloaf Mountain and the surrounding areas are very near and dear to our heart at Patriot. @patriotpastures and @chesapeakefarmhouse even feature the mountain in our logo. So imagine our excitement when we happened across a hidden gem during a midnight Netflix indulgence of Vin Diesels 2002 feature “XXX” while catching up on estimates. Brace yourself...it turns out that Samuel L. Jackson’s secret hideout is located deep inside...none other than... our beloved Sugarloaf Mountain! Don’t believe us? Watch the short clip and scroll through the pics to see for yourself. 💪💪💪(video rights belong to XXX and producers, clearly). #themoreyouknow🌈 #sugarloafmountainmd #sugarloafmountainvineyard #localpride #frederickcountymd
One of the many benefits of modified mowing practices is giving beneficial plants a chance to take hold and reseed. This afternoon we were able to snag a quick pic of the amazing Monarchs making their way around the many Milkweed plants that have reestablished after several years of modified mowing on a client property. We love it when a plan comes together 💪 Little more from the interweb for your reading pleasure: “The monarch butterfly or simply monarch is a milkweed butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Other common names depending on region include milkweed, common tiger, wanderer, and black veined brown. It may be the most familiar North American butterfly, and is considered an iconic pollinator species. Wikipedia Scientific name: Danaus plexippus Order: Lepidoptera” #landstewardship #naturalresourcemanagement #propertymanagement #pollinators #monarchbutterfly #milkweed #restoration #naturalresources
A quick clean up before and after of a downed oak found during a field border patrol for one of our stewardship clients. Patriot crews take great pride in helping restore client properties to top shape after sudden storm events. 💪#landstewardship #propertymanagement #naturalresourcemanagement #landmanagement #stewardship #forestry #agriculture #farmmanagement
Stewardship is about balance. Not only between the many plant and animal species that make up a complex ecosystem, but also between stakeholder objectives and the lands wild inhabitants. Depending on your property goals, finding a middle ground between landscape aesthetics & wildlife habitat can be a difficult balance. Everyone loves the visual of a finely mowed field border, but during spring fawning and hatching times it could mean disaster for young wildlife. For our stewardship clients, we recommend restricting mowings during this time of year to simple access path mowings along crop borders, allowing access for invasive plant treatments and downed tree cleanup, but also keeping the high value edge cover for nesting and nursing wildlife. Later in the year, after young wildlife can move along safely, we will completely mow certain areas depending on their planned successional maintenance schedule, always making sure to have varied areas of successional cover on a property. This restricted mowing technique is also great at promoting full growth of plant species beneficial to pollinators. #landstewardship #propertymanagement #naturalresourcemanagement #wildlifemanagement #habitatmanagement #pollinators #wildturkeys #conservation #stewardship
For stormwater facility owners, it’s easy to forget just how quickly vegetation can overtake that often overlooked corner of your property. Here is a quick before & after of Patriot crews bringing a basin back into compliance after a recent failed local government tri-annual inspection. The facility will now receive periodic maintenance from Patriot stormwater crews to ensure continued compliance moving forward. We love to see these facilities come back to life! #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #chesapeakebay #propertymanagement #waterquality #naturalresourcemanagement #landstewardship #pondmanagement
