  • Calcutta 2020

    • 10 Apr 2020

    March 14, 2020

    Dear friends,

    In light of the recent decisions to cancel international travel, the suspension of national sports events and the closure of Maryland schools, The Board of Directors of The Manor Conservancy has made the difficult decision to cancel the Calcutta Party on April 10. While the situation may be different next month or even tomorrow we considered the risks and benefits to the community and to The Manor Conservancy and the choice was clear – public health and safety come first.

    If you have already purchased tickets you may choose to recharacterize your purchase as a tax-deductible donation to The Manor Conservancy, or we will be happy to issue a refund.

    We have begun discussing holding a fundraiser later this year in lieu of the Calcutta and will notify you as information becomes available.

    Please feel free to contact us at (240) 389-2531 or info@themanorconservancy.org with any questions or concerns.

    Regards,

    Henry C. Pitts, President

Our Mission

The Manor Conservancy works to preserve the predominantly rural character of Northern Baltimore and Harford Counties, to resist the spread of development and sprawl, to guard the water and air quality, and to support and encourage groups and activities intent on improving the environment.


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

This video features our Treasurer, Thorne Gould, and several Directors and members talking about land preservation. Thanks to Willie White Media for putting it together.
