Program Open Space CY19 Acquisitions general

Information about four of Maryland’s most active State operated land conservation programs: Program Open Space (POS) - Stateside, the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF), the Maryland Environmental Trust (MET), and the Rural Legacy Program. GreenPrint offers a way to improve how these programs work together and assists in steering POS acquistions to the Targeted Ecological Areas (TEAs), lands and watersheds of high ecological value that have been identified as conservation priorities by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Information provided also indicates if a parcel is in or out of the TEAs. The TEAs were developed in 2008 and then updated in 2011. The designation of a parcel’s location relative to the TEA is based upon the current TEA when the parcel was acquired.
