Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary 1,364 Acres 5 Kinder Farm Park is a 288-acre Park, which offers a variety of natural and recreational activities including hiking, biking, bird watching, fishing and gardening. It is a working farm that shows past and present agricultural practices of Anne Arundel County. Farm animals at the park are owned and cared for by the Kinder Farm Park 4-H Livestock Club. Another unique feature of Kinder Farm Park is the availability of community garden plots for lease by County residents. This increasingly popular amenity offers the public the opportunity to get their hands in the soil and see the fruits of their labor. Anne Arundel County’s vision for the Naval Academy Dairy Farm is PURE: Preservation – Anne Arundel County desires to enter into a long-term business relationship with the United States Department of the Navy to provide good stewardship for the Naval Academy Dairy Farm by preserving the property in its agricultural and rural nature. Utilization – Anne Arundel County is committed to running the Naval Academy Dairy Farm as a sustainable crop and livestock farming operation with crop and livestock diversification including exotic and heritage farm animals and alternative and specialty crops. Recreation – Anne Arundel County plans to provide the public with the opportunity to reconnect with the land by participating directly in food production and through a wide variety of recreational activities and events designed to highlight the rural and agricultural nature of the Naval Academy Dairy Farm. Education – Anne Arundel County will reach out to the community through inquiry- based science education and collaborative research tailored to encourage the advancement of agricultural and environmental issues. The Dairy Farm will always be known for… 4-H Groups * Bill the Goat * Hammond Family Cemetery & Homestead The Department of Recreation and Parks is ready to engage its entire network of public and private affiliates in a planning process for the Dairy Farm.

Strong Partnerships are built when people are given the opportunity to have a direct impact upon what happens in their community. Citizens, Service Providers and Decision Makers must be drawn together as stakeholders in the creation of a vision and the process of actively pursuing that vision. THREE PHASES OF PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT 1. Pre-Lease Signing – Outreach to the General Public (Informational Updates) 2. Post-Lease Signing – Dairy Farm Advisory Committee (Recommendations) 3. Stewardship – Friends Group (Operational Support and Enrichment Efforts) Dairy Farm Advisory Committee • Monthly Meetings for Approximately One Year • Collaborative and Interactive Process Facilitated by Consultant • Develop Recommendations for Implementation of Plan Think About the Dairy Farm Over the Next 30 Years Create Overall Principles to Guide Future Work Assist in Shaping Projects into an Integrated Whole Evaluate Projects & Functions to Realize Greatest Potential Tentative Schedule for Formulation & Implementation December 2007 – Send Appointment Letters January 2008 – Hold First Meeting December 2008 – Hold Final Meeting Through careful stewardship, the character of this very special property will be protected for many generations to come. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) On January 1, 1970 the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) was signed into Law. NEPA established a basic framework for integrating environmental considerations into Federal decision-making. The NEPA process utilizes a systematic approach in planning and decision-making which may have an impact on the environment. The NEPA process includes a detailed statement on: o Environmental impact of the proposed action, o Adverse effects which cannot be avoided should the proposal be implemented, o Alternatives to the proposed action. National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. The Navy, the County, and the Maryland Historical Trust will consult to write a Programmatic Agreement, which will guide future management of the farm’s historic resources. The National Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect our historic and archeological resources. Properties listed in the Register include districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. NEPA Process The NEPA Process will analyze what the County would like to do at the USNA Dairy Farm. The County’s Conceptual Plan is broad and the theme is agriculturally based. The County’s proposal needs to provide more definitive plans to include a list of possible disturbances, addition of buildings and/or parking lots, hours of operation, traffic patterns and anticipated attendance at public events. Whatever proposed actions are not included in the NEPA Process before signing the lease will not be included in the lease document. The Navy will fund the NEPA assessment used to execute the lease. Anything not studied and included in the Navy’s paid NEPA assessment and lease would be paid for at the County’s expense. Heery International The County is working with Heery International as consultants assigned to assist with the NEPA Process. Heery International will work with Recreation & Parks to define the planned activities and facilities. Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) A FONSI is issued when environmental analysis and interagency review during the Environmental Assessment (EA) process find a project to have no significant impacts on the quality of the environment. Cultural Resources Assessment In keeping with the National Historic Preservation Act and as part of the lease negotiations, a Cultural Resources Assessment will be completed on all existing buildings and a survey

    Fall 2018 Maryland Birdlife Volume 67, Number 2 Maryland Birdlife 67(2):79–83 2018 Spring Raptor Migration at Fort Smallwood Park, Anne Arundel County, Maryland Sue A. Ricciardi 1132 Ferber Avenue, Arnold, Maryland 21012-1837 [email protected] Spring 2018 brought mixed results, with some impressive counts, but also with some that were very concerning. The season’s total number of migrant raptors, 10,314, was above the ten-year (2008–2017) average of 10,130 (Table 1). Coverage of 468 hours and 83 days was in each case within a few percentage points of average. Turkey Vulture, Osprey, Cooper’s Hawk, Bald Eagle, and Red-shouldered Hawk had season counts above their 5-year (2013–2017) averages. Ospreys, especially, were delightfully numerous; the count of 699 was the second highest ever. Sadly, Northern Harrier, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Broad- winged Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, and American Kestrel continued their long- term and worrisome declines. To illustrate, the daily record high count for American Kestrel is 387, achieved in 2004. However, the entire count for this season was just 88. The Sharp-shinned Hawk low count of 598 is unprecedented. Only once since significant coverage began in 1993 has the seasonal count been less than 1000 and that was 845 in 2013. Percent changes in season counts are displayed in the Table 1. Although Cooper’s Hawk had a positive 5-year percent change, the long-term trend is also in the downward direction. Merlin numbers have undergone more variability over the years, so that the negative percent changes shown are not significant.
