Patuxent Tidewater Land Trust preserves rural lands for current and future generations through conservation easements and environmental stewardship.
Easement Acquisition: We continued to acquire new easements to protect property in Southern Maryland in perpetuity. Two new easements were established in 2020 protecting 204.9 additional acres of land and bringing our total land protected to almost 6000 acres. These easements were funded by two separate grant programs both from the State of Maryland - Rural Legacy Program and Program Open Space. We continued working with landowners to place easements on properties within the recently approved expansion of the Huntersville Rural Legacy Area located in mid St. Mary's County Maryland. This expansion added almost 6000 additional acres and 158 new parcels available for protection. The Maryland Rural Legacy Board awarded PTLT $1.275M in FY 2021 to fund easements in this area.
Easement Monitoring: For the sixth year in a row, PTLT has accomplished 100% of its property monitoring requirements during the cold-season monitoring period. PTLT uses an all volunteer team of monitors under the oversight of a Monitoring Coordinator. PTLT's team works with the volunteer Monitoring Coordinator to evaluate issues and complete, file and distribute the monitoring reports to easement co-holders. This effort, while not consuming large amounts of funding, are critical to ensuring that the conservation value of our properties is maintained and and no easement violations occur. The Maryland Environmental Trust grants PTLT funds to monitor properties for which they are co-holders.
Easement Compliance: Due in part to our thorough monitoring program, PTLT has had few easement compliance issues and we try hard to resolve them amicably. Our volunteer board members to investigate and resolve each issue. We hold reserve funds in an endowment account and purchase insurance to address any violations requiring legal or technical expertise. We continue to follow up with our landowners on potential easement issues and help them address problems in a timely manner. This year we worked with several landowners to resolve dumping issues on their properties and responded to landowner requests to approve construction of new houses on their eased properties, and for relocation of an access road, all of which we agreed were permitted under the terms of the easements.
