DescRESTORATION: In 2025, LSLT expanded habitat restoration work across the Lower Shore, helping establish and advance more than 60 acres of pollinator, grassland, and native habitat projects. Restoration work included projects at Bay Club, Pirates Wharf, private lands, community sites, and congregational properties. LSLT also launched the first Yards for Creation demonstration projects and supported youth-led conservation landscaping through its partnership with Fenix Youth Project and the New Ground program. These projects improved wildlife habitat, water quality, climate resilience, and public awareness of native landscaping practices.Desc

$3,791GENERAL PROGRAMMING: Beyond direct land protection, stewardship, and restoration work, LSLT continued to serve as a regional conservation leader and convener. The organization played an active role in the Delmarva Restoration and Conservation Network, the Newport Bay Whole Watershed Project, the One Water Partnership, and other regional collaborations. Through these efforts, LSLT helped coordinate partners, pursue shared funding opportunities, advance landscape-scale restoration, and strengthen conservation capacity across the Delmarva Peninsula. These partnerships support long-term outcomes for habitat, water quality, climate resilience, and rural landscape conservation.
$3,155STEWARDSHIP: LSLTs stewardship program continued to ensure the long-term integrity of conserved lands across its portfolio of more than 140 conservation easements and over 24,000 protected acres. Staff and trained volunteers conducted annual monitoring visits, documented property conditions, communicated with landowners, and supported compliance with easement terms. LSLT also continued strengthening stewardship systems through volunteer training, improved property record management, and continued use of Landscape Conservation Software to track monitoring, landowner communication, and stewardship activities.
$467LAND PROTECTION: In 2025, Lower Shore Land Trust completed two conservation easement projects, permanently protecting approximately 410 acres of farmland, forest, wildlife habitat, and rural landscape. These projects included the Tracey/Hickory Mill easement, totaling approximately 310 acres, and the Layfield Farms easement, totaling approximately 100 acres. LSLT also assisted with one in-fee acquisition, the Hodgens/Swank property, totaling more than 41 acres. This property will be added to the Bay Club property, expand the holdings of the Maryland Forest Service, and provide pedestrian access to the grounds from the Town of Berlin. All land protection activities were conducted in alignment with Land Trust Alliance Standards and Practices, with an emphasis on collaborative, voluntary conservation with private landowners and public partners.
