Nature Conservancy aids Maryland lands preservation effort
The Nature Conservancy and its Maryland chapter, formed in 1977, have protected and acquired thousands of acres across Maryland including 20,000 acres and 10 preserves. The group relies on donations and the trade lands program to purchase ecologically critical habitats such as Cranesville Swamp, Monocacy River flats, and Trillium Creek, while partnering with state programs to identify priority sites and protect bald eagles, ospreys, and other wildlife.
