Vision

We envision a Montgomery County that reliably and permanently supports its rural economy, treasures its forests, fields and streams, and plans carefully for growth.

Goals

1. 1.Protection of Farmland, forests, water and air quality in the face of powerful development forces. Robust advocacy and building strong coalitions to safeguard natural resources.
2. 2.Support for existing, expanding and entering farmers: overcoming hurdles to land access, serving as a resource clearing house and educating the public about opportunities to support local farms.
3. 3.Education of the public, students and decision makers on the value of protecting farms on the metropolitan edge. We promote knowledge of water quality, local food and smart growth principles.
