Maryland's natural resources are being threatened by increasing urbanization. The results is poor water quality and a loss of habitat for fish and wildlife. Landowners can make a difference through stewardship programs that improve the natural resources on their property. The Referral Service will help to create forests, wetlands, and other important wildlife habitats. These projects will be tailored to meet the landowners objectives.
Enrollment is free and there is no obligation to the landowner.
Projects may qualify for cost-share or other funding opportunities. There may be tax incentives associated with voluntary conservation easements.
