Whether you like driving down country roads, watching wildlife, hunting game, eating just about anything, or simply drinking clean water, conservation affects you.

Since 1993, Potomac Conservancy has been working with landowners and partner organizations to preserve private lands through conservation easements. Together, we have protected over 13,000 acres of forested and agricultural lands to date. This land is forever protected from unsustainable development and misuse, while remaining private.

Over the next few months, our Land Protection program will be showcasing the important natural and agricultural characteristics of private lands through a series of photo essays featuring photographs and landowner stories from protected properties in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Scroll through these images to learn about how the preservation of wildlife habitat affects plants, animals, and YOU. Click on the images to enlarge the them!

Our Potomac River region is home for many plants that serve a dual purpose! They aren’t just pretty to look at, they have other important benefits, too!

The key is, we need to protect the land and water they rely on. Without a healthy environment, these plants can’t thrive!

Our Stewardship Manager Jeff Feaga spills the beans on what it takes to manage all of these easements, how they benefit communities all along the river, and how he first fell in love with protecting clean water.

The Shenandoah Valley is home to the pristine headwaters of the Potomac River. But for its tight-knit communities, poorly planned encroaching development is an increasing worry to both the region’s ecological health and its long tradition of agricultural and forest economy.
