The Land Group
The Land Group (TLG) has a combined expertise of nearly 100 years working with land and natural resources. TLG’s core business in land advisory and brokerage easily translates to additional conservation and ecosystem market services for its clients. Expertise of TLG’s team extends beyond simply transactional real estate to a range of consulting attributes.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that the long-term success of the Chesapeake Bay’s agricultural economy is reliant on sound land management and conservation.
In 1949, Aldo Leopold wrote a book called the Sand County Almanac, in which he coined the phrase “land ethic”.
He wrote… “All ethics so far evolved rest upon a single premise: that the individual is a member of a community of interdependent parts. The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively the land.”
The Land Group shares in this principle and believes the economic future of the Chesapeake is wholly dependent on the sound use of its natural assets in the waters, forests, soils, and wildlife of the Chesapeake.
The primary role of an advisor at The Land Group is to provide technical service, guidance, and consultation for conservation measures taken on their land. This includes navigating a wide range of voluntary, incentive-based programs—such as conservation easements, Farm Bill initiatives, and private non-governmental programs—tailored to meet each landowner’s specific goals.
Collectively, the team at The Land Group has nearly 100 years of combined experience, bringing the diligence, creativity, and expertise needed to guide landowners through complex federal, state, and private conservation opportunities.
Build Partnerships…
The important work of land and habitat conservation requires a knowledge base in organizational capacity building and a strong network of contacts in the conservation community. Fortunately, The Land Group has both the knowledge for building partnerships, as well as, the experience in working with nearly every natural resource agency and organization in the Chesapeake Bay.
We work with many partners throughout the Chesapeake Bay Region, including:
BluAcres, LLC specializes in the restoration of wetlands, streams and wildlife habitat. They provide clients with technical assistance to develop wetlands, streams and high-quality wildlife habitat for mitigation, conservation and improved hunting and fishing opportunities.
Orion is a land and wildlife management company based in Maryland, working with landowners throughout the Mid-Atlantic region to improve wildlife habitat on their farms. They design and install shallow-water field impoundments, plant high-quality food
plots and design and restore warm season grass cover.
