If you are a landowner in Kent or Cecil County who is interested in conserving your property, there is funding available through the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy’s (ESLC) Land Protection Initiative. This initiative is a joint effort between ESLC and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Services to increase the amount of land in conservation easements on the Delmarva peninsula. The project focuses on both working land and habitat preservation to enhance the health of the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
