Map service Rural Legacy Areas were established to protect Maryland's best remaining rural landscapes and natural areas through the purchase of land or conservation easements. The  Targeted Ecological Areas: (1) systematically identify and protect ecologically important lands; (2) address problems of forest fragmentation, habitat degradation and water quality; (3) maximize the influence and effectiveness of public and private conservation investments; (4) promote shared responsibilities for land conservation between public and private sectors; and, (5) guide and encourage compatible uses and land management practices.
