Landowner Testimonial
Landowner: Patricia Melville
Property: 53.4 acres of open fields, woodlands, tidal marsh and emergent wetlands in Lothian, Md.
My husband and I purchased the land because it had a combination of open and forested areas. The marsh along the creek was an added bonus. I especially appreciate the variety of habitat so necessary for wildlife, especially birds. The land provides spaces for walking, birding, and bird banding.
