Eastern Shore Land Conservancy

What We Do

Founded in 1990, Eastern Shore Land Conservancy is a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving land on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. From farm fields to marshes to woodlands and public trails, it is our mission to conserve, steward, and advocate for the unique rural landscape for generations to come.

Land Conservation

We have helped protect over 67,000 acres of Maryland's Eastern Shore, preserving what makes the Delmarva Peninsula unique and valuable.

Land Use & Policy

We develop innovative land protection programs to protect wild spaces, farms, open land, parks, and trails for the next generation of Marylanders.
