Our Mission is to conserve land and protect its natural resources for the benefit of all people in Harford County.
Our Vision for Harford County
We envision a Harford County where:
Agriculture
A thriving, sustainable agricultural industry is prominent in the local economy, culture, and landscape — and is supported by greater demand for local food.
Forests
Large tracts of forest are permanently protected for stable and sustainable production, wildlife habitat, scenic viewsheds, ecosystem services, and recreational uses.
Habitat
Habitat is biologically diverse, interconnected, and supports viable populations of keystone species.
Recreation and Well-being
A network of trails, recreational lands, and waterfront provides abundant access to open space and enhances the quality of life.
