This Summer at Greenbury Point

12 July 2024

From NSA Annapolis Public Affairs

Recent visitors to Greenbury Point may have noticed more activity in the area. NSA Annapolis is starting construction of the Greenbury Point Berm Restoration/Living Shoreline project on Greenbury Point, as previously detailed in our earlier story, “This Spring at Greenbury Point.”
ANNAPOLIS, Md. –  Recent visitors to Greenbury Point may have noticed more activity in the area.

NSA Annapolis is starting construction of the Greenbury Point Berm Restoration/Living Shoreline project on Greenbury Point, as previously detailed in our earlier story, “This Spring at Greenbury Point.” 
Due to safety reasons associated with heavy equipment and construction, modifications are necessary to the recently posted Greenbury Point Public Access Schedule for July – September (see our Facebook page). On Fridays during these months (July 26; August 2, 9, 16, 23, 30; September 6, 13, 20, 27), the WEST Access Road will be closed to the public. The EAST Access Road will remain open to the public, and the cut-through road can be used to allow for a return loop via the East Access Road – please see the below map for details.

NSA Annapolis continues to allow public access on Greenbury Point for recreation activities during daylight hours. Public access will be available daily for the Timberdoodle, Bobwhite, and Pipsissewa walking trails. On a related note, the project to establish a living shoreline at Carr Creek using log-toe stabilization and installation of native marsh species (also in “This Spring at Greenbury Point”)  has been completed, and the Poet’s Trail has been re-opened for full public access. Hours for public access on both the walking trails and access roads will remain the same: 5:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., unless otherwise posted.

Please follow all posted signs and restrictions for your safety – if violations of posted restrictions are observed, we will re-assess our access policy, which may result in full closure of the access roads. As construction and range scheduling progresses, we will establish and post a Greenbury Point Public Access Schedule for October – December.

Recent visitors may also have noticed new vegetation across the property. On June 20 ,2024, Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis completed a tree planting mitigation project at Greenbury Point. The project included the planting of 1,077 saplings and 2,226 herbaceous plugs. All of the plants are native species, guided by the recommendations of Katharine Seguin, Natural Resource Manager with Public Works Department Annapolis, for Maryland-native plants that would be suitable for the area. The project also includes a maintenance plan, which will cover watering and mowing, and involve plans for replanting dead trees.

Trees and herbaceous plants were planted to protect and restore a three-acre area of our installation that was previously cleared of invasive species. NSA Annapolis was careful to only remove invasive plants below 3.5 inches in diameter rather than clearing the entire three acres.

Sustaining our Navy mission depends on our responsible use of the land, water, and resources with which we are entrusted. This environmental restoration and protection work throughout the summer helps ensure Greenbury Point can continue this mission today and into the future by safeguarding this important resource for years to come.
