The Maryland Environmental Trust was created
in 1967 to conserve, improve, stimulate, and per-
petuate the aesthetic, natural, scenic, and cultural
aspects of the Maryland environment (Chapter
648, Acts of 1967). The Trust also promotes appre-
ciation of the environment and continued interest
in its care.

The Trust seeks donations of conservation ease-
ments to the State on certain lands to preserve the
land from development. By 1986, the Trust had
secured 111 conservation easements on 21,000
acres.

The Trust consists of fifteen trustees. Three
serve ex officio. The remaining twelve trustees each
year elect three of their own successors for four-year
terms. The Trust selects the Director (Code Natural
Resources Article, secs. 3-201 through 3-211).
