ANNAPOLIS, MD – Maryland’s Board of Public Works gave the green light on May 6, 2026, to establish five agricultural conservation easements that will permanently safeguard 534.569 acres of valuable farming property across Caroline, Charles and Dorchester counties.
The conservation agreements, processed through the Maryland Agricultural Preservation Foundation, ensure these working farms will continue serving agricultural purposes rather than being converted to development in the years ahead.
These agricultural conservation easements serve as a tool in Maryland to maintain productive farming and forested lands, guaranteeing their continued use for agricultural operations while preventing future development.
