County Program Administrators

Contact Information

Current or potential Program participants should communicate with the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation first through its local program administrators.  Application development, review, and the approval process starts at the local level.  Local administrators are the best resource to help you prepare your easement applications and for navigating the application process.  They can answer most questions about what you can likely expect from the Program and how it works.  Local program administrators are in an excellent position to help you reach your goals in preserving your land.  If your local program administrator is unable to answer your questions or you otherwise need to contact the Foundation directly, please feel free to telephone or write.
