The Coastal Rural Legacy area of Baltimore County is among the richest in resources within the County and is the most threatened by development.
The area encompasses 14,103 acres of vital wetlands, forests, marshes, farmland and habitat along the shoreline of the Upper Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
The Coastal Rural Legacy area in Baltimore County includes:
Gunpowder Delta
Bird River
Dundee and Saltpeter
Bowley’s Quarters
Back River and Holly Neck
Historic Fort Howard
The preservation of the large blocks of forest and wetland areas creates a system of environmental reserves, which is extremely important in the protection and restoration of the Chesapeake Bay watershed with the 109 miles of coastal area shoreline serving as an essential buffer area between urbanized portions of Baltimore County and the Bay.
