The Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation released its FY 2014 Annual Report recently. The report reviews the many accomplishments the Foundation had in 2014, including:

At the end of FY 2014, we had purchased easements on a cumulative total of 2,154 properties, permanently preserving about 292,357 acres, at a total state investment of just over $645 million.

As a result the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation

is one of the most successful programs of its kind in the country
