About North County Preservation

North County Preservation (NCP) is dedicated to preserving the unique character of rural Northern Baltimore County. NCP conducts research about and disseminates information on preservation and responsible development.

We assist local community associations and individual residents by educating them about the history and natural resources of our area. We share information on conservation programs with landowners interested in preserving their land. We publish periodic newsletters on the internet and in hard copy.

We convene the North County Institute to allow public officials and scholars to meet with community association leaders. As funding permits, NCP also provides legal assistance to community organizations to support the goals of Baltimore County's Master Plan 2010.

We invite everyone committed to preservation and smart land use planning to support North County Preservation. Cruise our website to draw on our work to date. Volunteer to help us in our efforts.

We support our mission by:

  • Understanding the impact of residential and commercial development on our historically and ecologically significant spaces and structures through information gathering and analysis,
  • Promoting the appreciation and understanding of the environment through community education programs and special events,
  • Educating landowners on preservation options for their ecologically and historically sensitive land and structures,
  • Providing a grass roots voice for the conservation of local natural resources and the environmentally responsible development of our community, and
  • Providing legal assistance to protect ecologically and historically sensitive spaces and structures.
