The Challenges of Conservation Easements

On Wednesday I headed over to the offices of the Maryland Environmental Trust just outside of Annapolis (note the "time is running out" tax reminder clock on their web site!).

My goal was to find out more about this quasi-independent state agency which holds donated conservation easements across the state. One of the easements they hold is in Grasonville, along the Route 50 corridor (more on this in my next post).

Listen to a 6 minute excerpt from a conversation I had with Nick Williams, the Trust's director. He briefly touches on some of the challenges in holding long-term easements.
