There are few places in North America where you can enjoy the remarkable array of opportunities offered in Maryland. The Chesapeake Bay serves as the anchor between our sweeping scenic mountains in the west and the sandy shores of our Atlantic coast. In Maryland we pride ourselves on balancing conservation with recreation; and each unique natural community offers Marylanders and our nonresident guests some of the finest hunting in the region. Maryland is recognized as home to the largest white-tailed buck ever taken on the East Coast, it is the only place on the continent where you can hunt free-ranging sika deer, and it is the wintering grounds for wild waterfowl in the Atlantic flyway. Our fields, forests, and wetlands offer some of the finest outdoor experiences in the region. Featuring more than 500,000 acres of public land, we provide opportunities for all outdoor enthusiasts across the state. We are also proud Larry Hogan of the hard work by our dedicated team of public land managers, biologists, and scientists who are committed to ensuring our public parks, forests, and wildlife management areas remain safe, accessible, and available to all who visit. Finally, we offer our sincere thanks to you—the hunting and trapping community—for the critical role you play in managing and conserving wildlife in Maryland. You are conservationists at heart and an important part of our economy—we offer our sincere thanks for your continued support. Please enjoy your time afield and remember to share your stories. Have a wonderful and safe hunting and trapping season wherever your Maryland adventures take you! Sincerely, Jeannie Larry Hogan, Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio, Haddaway-Riccio Governor of Maryland Secretary of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources On behalf of your Wildlife and Heritage Service team, it is my pleasure to welcome you to another season of outdoor opportunities in Maryland! This past season we introduced our first-ever mentored hunter pheasant program. The pilot program was limited to a few counties and public lands in western Maryland. The program exceeded our expectations and left many first-time hunters with memories of a lifetime and the spark to continue hunting in the future. A small team of enthusiastic staff, underwritten by the federal match to your license purchases, will

  • Chapter 3 Transportation
    Chapter 3 Transportation Overview The movement of people and goods is an important concern to the Town of North East, making the Transportation element especially significant. Providing a safe and efficient transportation network with minimal disruption can sometimes be difficult to achieve. The Transportation element must be closely coordinated with other elements of the Plan to ensure that transportation plans and policies complement and promote those of other sections. The North East Municipal Growth Element identifies suitable areas for municipal expansion and establishes a two-tiered priority for growth and development. Those priority areas and the uses identified for those tracts combine to determine where additional study and evaluation of existing and future transportation capacity should be focused. The goals and objectives listed below provide guidance regarding the Town’s desire to enhance the safety, convenience, and functionality of existing facilities and future system expansions and improvements. Building upon the goals and policies in the 1992 Economic Growth, Resource Protection, and Planning Act, more recent State legislation1 addressed priorities for public investments in infrastructure; linking infrastructure capacity to priorities for targeted future growth; and expanded planning visions that address quality of life, sustainability, public participation and community design. A package of Bills, collectively known as the Smart and Sustainable Growth Act of 2009, strengthened required consistency between Plan content and implementation ordinances. The 2009 Act requires documentation about local efforts to address Plan goals and implementation of the twelve Planning Visions through revised annual reporting to the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) on a uniform set of smart growth measures and indicators.

  • Area's #1 Fishing & Hunting Outfitter
    Dear Angler: Here in Maryland, we need only look to our State Seal — depicting the fisherman and the ploughman — for proof that fishing really is part of our heritage. It’s a fun, affordable and accessible activity for all ages, and a great excuse to get our children away from video and computer games and into the great outdoors! Approximately 700,000 adults and thousands of young people fish each year in Maryland, with an estimated annual impact of $1 billion on our economy. Gov. Martin O’Malley and Sec. John R. Griffin More than a third of our anglers visit from out of state, testimony to the value and quality of our great fishing resources. We are very fortunate to have expert biologists and managers – working to- gether with our Sport Fisheries, Tidal Fisheries and Oyster Advisory Commissions, and our Coastal Fisheries Advisory Committee, to guide fisheries management across our State. We are also very fortunate to have you -- committed conserva- tionists and advocates – working with us. Your license revenues support protection and enhancement of Maryland’s fishery resources, research and management activities, expanded public access and enhanced law enforcement. And we look forward to strengthening our partnership with you as we work toward our goals for a restored Chesapeake Bay, thriving freshwater streams, and healthy abundant fish populations. Thank you for being a part of a great cultural tradition, and here’s wishing you a terrific year of fishing in Maryland. Martin O’Malley John R. Griffin Governor Secretary About the Cover: This edition of the Maryland Fishing Guide is dedicated to Frances McFaden, who retired from public service after 43 years as a steadfast, ever-helpful, and resourceful Maryland state worker.
