ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Gerald F.
Talbert, 34, of Glyndon, Baltimore
County, has been named Executive
Director to the Maryland
Agricultural Land Preservation
Foundation and has assumed his
duties this month.
He comes to his new job with an
array of experience in state and
federal governmental program
administration and with a strong
background in soil conservation
program work and administration.
For six years, he was employed
by the Baltimore County Soil
Conservation District as district
manager, a post in which he
coordinated the district’s
agricultural programs and its
urban programs and acted as
liaison for the district with
Baltimore County and cooperating
agencies. One of the district’s
highlight accomplishments during
that tune was the establishment of
the Pmey Run "clean lakes
program” involving a 7,000 acre
watershed in the central western
portion of the county. Funded by a
$7,000,000 EPA grant, the program
is currently providing technical
assistance and cost sharing for
farmers to install agricultural
conservation practices.
Talbert joined MDA in Annapolis
two years ago as assistant
executive secretary to the
Maryland State Soil Conservation
Committee working with all 24 of
the state’s local districts. His time
in that post is highlighted by his
work on a district resources
workload study designed to assess

has shown in that task are ideal for
his new position.”
The Maryland Agricultural Land
Preservation Foundation was
created by the Maryland General
Assembly in 1975. In 1977, its
authority was broadened so that it
could certify establishment of
voluntary “agricultural land
preservation districts” in the state
and was given funding so that it
could enter into negotiations for
the acquisition of development
rights easements.
In 1979, the first ag preservation
district was created. Since then,
approximately 450 farms in 19
counties are in such districts
comprising about 70,000 acres. In
addition, easement rights have
been acquired on 95 farm
properties comprising almost
15,000 acres. Negotiations this
fiscal year are being held on
another 90 some properties which
would add to the total of
agricultural acreage protected
from development.
The program is voluntary on the
part of land owners and the par
ticipating counties and is overseen
by a 11 member Board of'Trustees
appointed by the Governor of
whom Mr. F. Grove Miller of
Northeast, Cecil County, is
chairman.
Talbert is a graduate of Drexel
University. He is married to the
former Sheila Van Damm of
Baltimore. The couple has two
sons.
