We protect the land you love.
Land is our common ground.
Harford Land Trust helps shape where and how our county develops, by protecting our important natural systems and ensuring our most productive landscapes remain intact.
Open space to explore, clean water in our streams and rivers, productive farmland and reliable food access, essential habitat for plants and animals – land preservation in Harford County makes a difference for all members of our community.
Since our founding in 1991, supporters like you ensure that the land that provides so much to us all is preserved and protected forever.
People make the difference.
Every conservation story starts the same way – it begins with a landowner, an individual or family, who chooses to protect their land, forever.
Land preservation benefits us today, and tomorrow.
Land preservation is an investment, not an expense. Protecting natural resources always pays us back.
Local Economy
Preserving our natural and working lands supports a vibrant and sustainable local economy. From protected local farms to reduced cost of government services, preserved land plays a key role in Harford County’s economic future.
Natural Environment
Land preservation protects and restores our natural assets – water, habitat, and air. Natural areas need help to become—and remain—places where people, plants, and wildlife can thrive.
Quality of Life
When we spend time in nature, we are happier and healthier. Access to natural spaces helps create a meaningful sense of place. Proximity to parkland, scenic landscapes, and local food attract and keep people in Harford County.
Nature is open. Everyone is welcome.
Harford Land Trust has preserved many of the county’s most treasured public parks as well as hidden gems.
“This is the organization that will give a gift back to the citizens of Harford County for future generations. Our lands and natural resources are the gifts we have inherited.”

Former HLT President
