Queen Anne’s family farm permanently protected as county surpasses farmland conservation goals

Boasting 4,724 feet of waterfront on Southeast Creek, the 100-acre farm protects all kinds of valuable ecology. The landscape, once agricultural, has been turned into a thriving grassland habitat through Washington College’s Natural Lands Project. 70 acres of former grain fields are under ecological restoration, while another 24.5 acres of woodlands will be managed under a forest stewardship plan. 56 acres on the farm are enrolled in a buffer planting program with the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program.
