MeyerStation

a nature community

Conservation--Habitation--Education--Preservation

MeyerStation is a non-profit organization. It is a tract of natural woodland and wetland nearly one-hundred and thirty five acres in size that borders on the Patuxent River separating Anne Arundel County and Prince Georges County in Maryland. 

We have hosted hundreds of organizations including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H clubs, school classes, Audubon Society Chapters, church groups in the observation of natural flora and fauna of this area.

The following creatures have been observed in our habitat:

Birds

Eastern Wild Turkey, Great Blue Herons, Wood Ducks, Mallards, Grebes,  Red-Winged Blackbirds, Quail, Dove, Hummingbirds, Bluebirds, Indigo Bunting, Red Shoulder Hawks, Sparrow Hawks, Turkey Vultures, Crows, Grackles, Pileated Woodpeckers, Pine Siskins, various owls, thrushes, sparrows, wrens, finches, vireos, flycatchers, and more than 200 species of birds.

Mammals

Deer, beaver, muskrat, Red fox, Grey fox, rabbit, opossum, raccoon, mink, squirrel, weasel, field mouse, moles, groundhog, chipmunk, skunk, otter and others.

Reptiles and friends

Snapping Turtle, box turtle, painted turtle, diamond back turtle, newt, salamander, brownwater snake, hognosed snake, black snake, blue racer, garter snake, toads, bull frog, pickeral frog, spring peeper frog, lizards and others.

As you can see, there is a rather busy bird, mammal and reptile population as well as thousand of species of insects, fish, and other animals at Meyerstation. Consequently, all contributions are welcomed to assist in purchasing feeding materials on a seasonal basis and to maintain and install various bird nesting boxes. Other contributions may be made to assist in extending present improvements to the new facilities( Deep Well Fund or Sewage Extension Fund). These improvements will make the nature preserve a more pleasant place to visit.

It is felt that the area will become one of the more valuable "nature communities" in this coastal region with the uniqueness of being completely surrounded by residential communities and readily accessible to those in that surrounding ring of communities for educational use.
