The purpose of each Park’s strategic management plan is to use a collaborative process to identify and evaluate the following essential elements of each park: 1) natural resources; 2) cultural and historic resources; 3) recreational resources; 4) human resources; and 5) infrastructure. Using this background data, a “Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis” is performed. The SWOT analysis facilitates the identification of big-picture goals and targeted objectives that are used to develop a work plan for the park. This Plan documents the process and is divided into five parts: Part 1: Core Values This section includes the Maryland Park Service mission and goals, brand promise, and a summary of the features that make the park a significant component of Maryland’s park system. Part 2: Park Resources This section identifies and describes park-specific resources including natural resources, cultural and historic resources, recreational resources, human resources and infrastructure. Part 3: Resource Assessment This section documents a resource assessment using the SWOT Analysis process and identifies park-specific strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Part 4: Big Picture Goals Using the SWOT analysis in Part 3, this section identifies “big-picture” goals that are focused on promoting strengths, overcoming weaknesses, maximizing opportunities and eliminating threats. The goals are directly connected to reinforcing the significance of the state park and the core values of the Maryland Park Service. Part 5: Work Plan This section serves as a road map that identifies specific actions and projects to effectively achieve the stated goals. It includes a timeline for completion, so that appropriate resources can be dedicated to accomplishment, and employees are empowered to move forward with tasks that support the park’s goals and mission. Strategic Management Plan 2 May 10, 2019 Belt Woods State Park 1 Core Values Maryland Park Service Mission & Goals The mission of the Maryland Park Service is to manage the natural, cultural, historical, and recreational resources to provide for wise stewardship and enjoyment by people.

Preserving and providing opportunities for visitors to discover important historical sites and relics that tell inspiring stories of people and events that give context and meaning to their lives today. 4. Creating an environment for relaxation with the reassuring presence of a friendly and dedicated park ranger who inspires and supports the desire to be a good steward of the Earth. 5. Imparting visitors with a sense of well-being and happy memories, so when they leave they are feeling stress-free and revitalized. Strategic Management Plan 3 May 10, 2019 Belt Woods State Park 1 Core Values Photo Courtesy of Robert Simmon, NASA Earth Observatory Significance Statement The significance of Belt Woods State Park is: ► To protect, preserve, and restore Belt Woods as a unique National Natural Landmark and Maryland State Wildland, consistent with the Belt Woods State Wildlands designation and deed restrictions, perpetuating natural old-growth forest habitat and other native ecological communities and species. ► To provide an area for research, education, interpretation, and passive nature-based recreation to improve the understanding of ecological communities and the species in those communities, including unique old-growth forest areas and other forested areas that characterize the property, ensuring the survival and health of natural communities and native species at Belt Woods. ► To ensure the conservation of Forest Interior Dwelling Species (FIDS), including uncommon bird species that use Belt Woods for nesting and breeding, the protection of rare, threatened or endangered species, and the preservation of the rich biological diversity of the Belt Woods in the context of the surrounding urban-suburban development.
