Donations in support of our annual event help to support The Gunpowder Valley Conservancy’s (GVC) efforts to preserve, protect, and restore the Gunpowder Watershed.  This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we are soliciting sponsors and items for our silent auction which raises important funds to support our important work in environmental conservation.

About Gunpowder Valley Conservancy

GVC is a Baltimore County-based land trust and watershed restoration non-profit organization. Formed in 1989, GVC is committed to clean water for the two million people who live in, visit or benefit from the Gunpowder Watershed by preserving land, restoring ecosystems, and encouraging people to become environmental stewards.

Mission

To educate and mobilize people and resources to preserve and restore the lands and waterways of the Gunpowder Watershed.

Vision

A Gunpowder Watershed that consists of:

• Healthy lands where native plants and animals thrive and where natural habitats are abundant
• Healthy waterways where streams flow clear and are connected to and nurtured by the land around them
• Healthy communities where residents, businesses, farms, and neighborhoods thrive and are empowered with the knowledge and resources to sustain the long-term interdependency of land, water, and people

About Evening Among the Trees

Join us for an evening out in support of land preservation and clean water. Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC)’s annual fundraiser, Evening Among the Trees, will be held on the beautiful grounds of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Parkville, MD. We will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Clear Creeks Project which has empowered many local communities in our watershed to take action for clear, clean water since 2013.  We are also recognizing our 2023 Lifetime Hero of the Green, Ed Stuebing.
