Woods, wetlands in Pasadena placed under protection
A Pasadena property that includes two environmentally sensitive bogs will be permanently preserved under the county's Program Open Space.
Anne Arundel County Executive Janet S. Owens signed a conservation easement for the 390-acre Looper property Friday, said spokesman Matt Diehl. The property is mostly woodlands.
The county bought the property for $4.9 million, of which $2.3 million was covered by a federal grant.

Shubnell was appointed by County Executive Janet S. Owens to complete the term of Konrad M. Wayson, who resigned from the board to serve on the county Board of Education. Shubnell's term expires Jan. 1.
