Every conservation story starts the same way<\/strong> \u2013 it begins with a landowner, an individual or family, who chooses to protect their land, forever.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of Harford Land Trust’s primary services is assisting landowners who voluntarily express interest in protecting their land. We connect with them, help them determine the conservation value of their property, learn about their protection goals, and try to find a way to protect it in perpetuity. We may work on a project from start to finish or participate in a faciliatory role. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

Why Preservation Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had never thought about leaving a legacy. But it is a concept people need to think about. A legacy does not mean money. It\u2019s a legacy of values that we pass on to our children and on to the land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why We Chose Preservation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We feel an ethical obligation to respect and preserve the kaleidoscope of life around us for we are all a part of it and will perish without it. What better way to preserve this land we love than to let it remain in Nature\u2019s care under the guidance of the Harford Land Trust in the form of a conservation easement. We feel very strongly that it has been the right decision.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
