North County Preservation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting rural life in Northern Baltimore County.
We focus on gathering and distributing fact-based information to encourage responsible development and preservation, providing education on the history, and unique resources of the area, performing studies on land use trends, and solutions to conserve natural, agricultural, and scenic resources, and promoting long-term solutions to increase agricultural sustainability and to protect open space.

› Growth Tiers
As mandated by the State, Baltimore County has designated Growth Tiers which will limit future septic systems. Most of the northern county is designated Tier IV, which should prevent any further major subdivisions. However, there is still the possibility of thousands of new houses and a number of planned development have been "grandfathered", so the need for land preservation remains as strong as ever. Maps of the Tiers can be found at MyNeighborhood.
› Successful Transitions: From Apprentice to Farmer
NCP funded a follow-up study to examine the results of various farmer training programs, including the Beginning Farmer Trainee Program which NCP was instumental in starting 8 years ago. The results of this study will help guide future changes and improvements to the program. Report >>Appendices >>
