Our Mission
We support preservation and protection and these conservation values:
- Sustainable economies: Agriculture, forestry, recreation
- Scenic beauty: Open space and rural landscapes
- Clean water: Streams and Chesapeake watersheds
- Natural habitat: Native plants, trees, and wildlife
- Historic heritage: Historically and culturally significant areas
The community plays a significant role through participation in conservation programs, including a vehicle called a Deed of Easement. An easement is a legal agreement between a landowner and a government organization or a land trust that protects land and its natural resources from unwanted development. This protection lasts forever, even if the property is later sold. Learn More
