Director of Land Use at Piedmont Environmental Council

Piedmont Environmental Council fought for 4 years to protect prime farmland in western Loudoun from being lost to cluster subdivisions. A good compromise was reached here that still allows clusters but preserves 70% of the prime soils so Loudoun can continue to host one of the most successful agritourism and small-farm markets in Virginia. Thanks to Gem Bingol and Tia Earman (quoted in the article!) for their leadership on this issue! https://lnkd.in/exzJHDbM

Landowners motivated first and foremost by heartfelt love of the land and a desire to make it their legacy will continue to protect places and resources meeting the criteria for conservation value by placing land in easement. Federal and state tax benefits will continue to make that possible for them.
