Who would have guessed the U.S. Army and the Harford Land Trust would have the same goal to protect a farm located on Deer Creek.   Never would I have imagined that the two could partner to achieve what neither could have accomplished alone.  The partnership doesn’t stop there; the project also involved Harford County government’s Agricultural Preservation Program to complete the land conservation project.  If all goes according to schedule, 164 acres of the Priestford LLC’s property, known as the Hopkins farm, will have two conservation easements protecting it from development in perpetuity by mid-December.
