As Delaware's largest non-profit conservation landholder, DWL owns and manages approximately 20,000 acres of land in Delaware and Maryland. Our holdings include nearly 11,000 acres of The Great Cypress Swamp near Gumboro, more than 3600 acres at Milford Neck, and approximately 5000 acres in New Castle County at Taylor's Bridge, the Augustine Creek Marsh, and just north of Odessa. We actively preserve open space through a combination of ecosystem, habitat, and wildlife conservation as well as traditional land uses such as agriculture, forestry, and hunting.
