Oregon Ridge Hosts

On October 24th, over 100 guests joined us at the Oregon Ridge Lodge for our annual fundraiser, Evening Among the Trees. Many glasses were raised in honor of Ann Jones, our 2024 Lifetime Achievement honoree. Ann has helped to preserve thousands of acres of land in Baltimore County and is a highly regarded member of the land trust community in Maryland.

We were also honored to have Tom Hall, host of WYPR's Midday, as our Event Emcee for the evening. Tom did a wonderful job reminding us about what makes GVC such a wonderful organization! Thanks to Matt Cooper of Alex Cooper Auctioneers for hosting our first live auction.

We hope you enjoy our brief video with highlights from the event! Special thanks to our Event Committee members for all their help behind the scenes and during the event:

• Sally Callihan and Kim Tucker, Event Committee co-chairs
