The Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Program was created by the Maryland General Assembly to preserve productive agricultural land and woodland which provides for the continued production of food and fiber for the citizens of the State. This program is administered by the Board of Trustees of the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (the Foundation). The preservation of agricultural land will curb the spread of urban sprawl and protect agricultural land and woodland as open space land.
