 | It is with great joy that we announce that the 2025 Royce Hanson - Ag Reserve champion award will be presented to Montgomery Parks. The Montgomery Parks department of MNCPPC is the largest landowner in the Reserve, the steward of its most important natural resources, stream valleys and floodplains, and many of its important historic sites—Blockhouse Point, Poole’s Store, Seneca School, Darby Store and House, Oakley Cabin, Boyds Negro School, Kingsley School. Hyattstown Mill, other Mill sites, etc. It manages an extensive hike-biker-equestrian trail system in the parks, with connections to private trails. |
Regional residents adventure in many beautiful parks encompassing over 37,000 acres, including: Little Bennett, Black Hill, Rachel Carson, Hoyles Mill, Bucklodge Forest, Blockhouse Point, Woodstock Equestrian Park, and now the Royce Hanson Conservation Park as well as benefitting from Nature Centers and SEED (Sustainable Education Every Day)
