~ In a continued effort to preserve Maryland's agricultural heritage, the Maryland Board of Public Works has recently approved 11 new easements through the Maryland Agricultural Preservation Foundation. These easements will permanently protect approximately 1,479 acres of prime farmland across six counties: Anne Arundel, Dorchester, Queen Anne's, St. Mary's, Somerset, and Talbot.
According to Maryland Secretary of Agriculture Kevin Atticks, this decision reflects the state's dedication to supporting local agriculture and ensuring food security for future generations. "Protecting our farmland is crucial for our future and essential for sustaining Maryland's vibrant agricultural sector," said Atticks. "By investing in these easements now, we are reinforcing the path towards a sustainable agricultural future."

Established in 1977 within the Maryland Department of Agriculture, the Maryland Agricultural Preservation Foundation works to acquire agricultural preservation easements from farmers who wish to protect their land. This initiative aims to keep valuable farmland and woodlands intact for future agricultural use. The newly approved easements play a vital role in sustaining Maryland's farming landscape, promoting local food systems, and bolstering rural economies.
This latest effort is part of Maryland's broader conservation goals and aligns with the state's commitment to protecting 40% of its land by 2040. It also builds upon the recent achievement of the 30% by 2030 objective set forth by the Maryland Beautiful Act in 2023. For more information on these easements or the foundation's work, interested parties can contact Executive Director Michelle Cable at (410) 841-5860.
