Sisters Preserve Land for Future Generations | Annapolis News

In a powerful act of stewardship, the Sisters of Bon Secours have secured a conservation easement to protect 32 acres of their cherished land near Marriottsville, ensuring it remains a sanctuary for nature and healing for generations to come. With only 14 sisters remaining in the U.S., this move safeguards their historic property — purchased in 1962 and central to their mission of caring for the sick and needy — while honoring their deep spiritual connection to the earth. The Howard County Conservancy paid $1.3 million to preserve forested areas, including ancient trees, advancing the county’s tree canopy goals and marking the fourth such easement under the current executive. Though this initial deal covers just 10% of the land, both parties dream of expanding protection — even envisioning future integration with Patapsco Valley State Park, creating a seamless natural haven.
