Conservation Easement

6.123 acres (0.293 acres marsh)

Bounding the marshes of Fishing Creek, the conservation of this property keeps the vegetative buffer between the salt marsh and possible pollution sources intact and adjoins EIOLT’s other protected lands along Oyster Factory Road to preserve their scenic character and expand protected wildlife habitat.

This conservation easement was bequeathed to EIOLT by Elizabeth “Liz” Smylie in her will, to leave a lasting conservation legacy on the land she cherished. Learn more about Liz’s amazing gift here.
