"The Eastern Shore is embedded in our hearts and in our souls.
Fortunately, the heart and soul of our home remain remarkably intact and
healthy, thanks to conservation," writes Lucius J. Kellam, III
conservation easement donor and former board member in a recent
op-ed for the Virginia Pilot. The op-ed also highlights a
study
by George Mason University's Center for Regional Analysis and Urban
Analytics that found conservation has a positive economic impact on the
Eastern Shore.
