Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Environment, Land Resources Conservation

Mission: The mission of the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy (ESLC) is to sustain the Eastern Shore's rich landscapes through strategic land conservation and sound land use planning. When Eastern Shore Land Conservancy was founded in 1990, the founding Directors shared a fervent dedication to the future of this matchless association of land, rivers, resources, and community called the Eastern Shore. And they shared a common concern that sprawling development patterns typical of the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay and many other areas of the Mid-Atlantic region was increasingly eroding these special attributes of the Eastern Shore. Even in the face of staggering development trends of the past few years, it is extraordinary how unfaltering the Board of Directors has remained to achieving that end.

I've worked with ESLC since it's formation in the capacity of supporter, funder, member of their teams and study groups, and speaker and attendee at conferences. Also as lead DNR staff for the Rural Legacy Program and POS. I worked closely with Rob Etgen and Board, most recently, as consultant and co-author with Rob on the feasibility study for TDRs on the Eastern Shore. This is THE most professional and accomplished local land trust in Maryland, and one of the best in the U.S. The staff are highly motivated, professional and accomplished (and fun to work with.)
