1 Public Information Meeting: Mattapany Rural Legacy Area - Proposed Expansion
2 What is the Rural Legacy Program? Maryland s Rural Legacy Program provides funding to: preserve large, contiguous tracts of land and enhance natural resource, agricultural, forestry and environmental protection while support a sustainable land base for natural resource based industries. The program encourages local governments and land trusts to work with landowners to protect vital working landscapes that are critical to our economy, environment and quality of life through easements. Land conservation investments are targeted to protect the most ecologically valuable properties that most directly impact Chesapeake Bay and local waterway health. 2
3 What are the benefits? Landowner benefits Preserves prime farmland Keeps farmers farming Protects land for future generations Conservation benefits Water quality Habitat and species protection County benefits Preserves rural character Tourism Economic

Added protection for operations at NAS Patuxent River and Webster Field and ability to leverage DoD Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) program funding.

12 Is there a difference between having land located in a Rural Legacy Area and placing land in a Rural Legacy Easement? Yes 12
13 Placing land in a Rural Legacy Easement is Voluntary! Owners must apply to place land in a RL Easement. Land must meet minimum criteria and funding must be available. Easement value based on a per acre formula. When a landowner applies for and accepts a Rural Legacy easement offer, they and all future owners will be bound by the terms of the executed RL easement. RL easement do not take away ownership or any right not expressly granted in the easement document accepted by the owner. 13
