The Maryland Environmental Trust is now permanently protecting more than 50 acres in Talbot County.
The Eastern Shore property in the San Domingo Cove community is being preserved through a recent conservation easement.
The land will allow for expansive views of nature from the Town of St. Michaels public pedestrian trail. Runners and walkers will be able to see San Domingo Creek as well as ponds, meadows and growing forest as a result of the preserved property.
