The MCC's Goals

are to protect -

Scenic wild rivers and Appalachian hardwood forests in the Allegheny Plateau of Western Maryland;

Sandy beaches on the barrier islands of the Atlantic Ocean with productive yet fragile bays behind them;

Cypress swamps along an ancient black water river and vast wetlands providing winter habitat for migrating waterfowl on the Coastal Plain of the Eastern Shore;

Geologically significant features and species rich forests and rivers in the Piedmont;

The Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries which once produced vast quantities of aquatic resources. MCC
