The Howard County Conservancy welcomes visitors to explore our grounds from sunrise to sunset, every day of the year, with free entry. A prime birding spot, the Conservancy offers 5 miles of trails through 232 acres of meadows, forests, and wetlands. The land, a former farm with historic buildings, including a working blacksmith shop, is now the home of the Conservancy, an environmental education and preservation nonprofit. Visit the accessible public native plant garden, meet rescue animal ambassadors, and admire champion trees.
