Land Conservation Conference 2010, Maryland's annual conference and training workshop for land trusts, will be held this year on May 27th at the Pearlstone Conference and Retreat Center in Reisterstown.
The Pearlstone Conference and Retreat Center is set in the rolling farmlands of Baltimore County, close to more than 14,000 contiguous preserved acres. Scenic grounds are matched by bio-sustainable business practices and facilities management. The Pearlstone campus is surrounded by miles of beautiful, well-marked hiking and walking trails. Kayam Farm at Pearlstone also boasts a working, self-sustaining, organic farm and greenhouse. Kayam strives to maintain and improve the quality of the ecosystems of the 164-acre campus with habitat restoration.
We are pleased to announce that the Conference 2010 Keynote Speaker will be Rand Wentworth, President – Land Trust Alliance. The Land Trust Alliance promotes voluntary private land conservation to benefit communities and natural systems. The Alliance is the national convener, strategist, and representative of more than 1,600 land trusts across America.
In one exciting day, the Conference 2010 will provide sessions on fundraising, federal and state policy, land-use planning and conservation, restoration opportunities, as well as updates from the Land Trust Alliance.
Annual land trust awards and grants will be announced at the Conference.
