As our State grows and changes, it is important to continually evaluate our mission and investments for the benefit of Maryland and its citizens. As champion of public land conservation and outdoor recreation, DNR is pleased to present the Land Preservation and Recreation Plan for 2014-2018 — a comprehensive, statewide plan that will guide our efforts to conserve open space and enhance outdoor resources on State lands for the next five years. Outlining clear goals and measurable action items, the Plan will enhance coordination among local, County and State planners; promote the benefits of outdoor recreation and natural resources; improve access to land and water-based recreation for every Marylander; and connect public trails and lands to the places where people work, live and play. This Plan was developed in cooperation with State, County and local officials, stakeholders and citizens in accordance with the U.S. Department of Interior, Land and Water Conservation Fund guidelines. By helping direct preservation to priority lands and fostering a greater connection to the outdoors, it supports the benefits of health and recreation, economic vitality and environmental sustainability for all citizens.

  • Part B Guidelines for the Preparation of a Natural Resource Inventory
    Part B Guidelines for the Preparation of a Natural Resource Inventory 1.0 INTRODUCTION A Natural Resources Inventory (NRI), as defined in Subtitles 24 and 27 is: “A plan map and supporting documentation or letter that provides all required information regarding the existing physical and environmental conditions on a site that is approved by the Planning Director or designee as described in the Environmental Technical Manual as approved and amended from time to time.” An NRI is a detailed inventory of the lots or parcels or combination of lots and parcels that will be the subject of a development application. It provides detailed information on the land, ecological resources, and hydrologic resources, as well as any existing structural features of a site. The primary purpose of an NRI is to provide a base plan to be used in the design of the site for land development proposals. It is also used by regulatory agencies for review with various development applications. There are five (5) types of NRIs; however, an NRI is not a substitute, exemption or waiver from the requirements of Subtitle 25, Division 2, Woodland and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Ordinance (WCO). 1.1 NRI APPLICABILITY The following provides clarification of the types of applications that do and do not require a NRI. 1.1.1 Applications That DO Require Submittal of a NRI An approved NRI is required to be included in the following applications: • Preliminary Plan of Subdivision • Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Conservation Plan • Type 2 Tree Conservation Plan applications to establish a Woodland Conservation Bank • Stormwater Management IF the project does not meet the criteria listed in section 1.1.2.

  • CHESAPEAKE BAY LOWLANDS ECOREGIONAL PLAN Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean
    CHESAPEAKE BAY LOWLANDS ECOREGIONAL PLAN Conservation Science Support—Northeast and Caribbean The Chesapeake Bay Lowlands Plan is a first iteration. The draft report that was distributed in hardcopy for review on 6/27/2002 is included on the CD. No updates were made to that version. CSS is now developing a standard template for ecoregional plans, which we have applied to the CBY ecoregional plan report. Some of the CBY results have been edited or updated for this version. Click on index in the navigation plane to browse the report sections. Note: The Bibliography (still slightly incomplete) contains the references cited in all report sections except for the Marine references, which have their own bibliography. What is the purpose of the report template? The purpose of creating a standard template for ecoregional plans in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic is twofold: — to compile concise descriptions of methodologies developed and used for ecoregional planning in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. These descriptions are meant to meet the needs of planning team members who need authoritative text to include in future plan documents, of science staff who need to respond to questions of methodology, and of program and state directors looking for material for general audience publications. — to create a modular resource whose pieces can be selected, incorporated in various formats, linked to in other documents, and updated easily. How does the template work? Methods are separated from results in this format, and the bulk of our work has gone into the standard methods sections. We have tried to make each methods section stand alone.

  • Belt Woods Hunting.Pdf
    To: City Council From: John L. Fitzwater Acting City Manager Subject: Belt Woods Hunting Date: November 16, 2016 City Council has received concerns about hunting activities on the Belt Woods property located in the northwest quadrant of Church Road and Route 214. In October 2016, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) opened Belt Woods to public hunting for the first time. The following e-mail was sent by DNR to hunters describing this opportunity. “There is a new public hunting opportunity available in Prince George’s County. As of October 20, 2016 the 625 acre Belt Woods Natural Environment Area (NEA) will be available for regulated deer hunting which will take place during the archery, muzzle loader, and firearms seasons. The program will follow established season dates and bag limits found in the 2016-2017 Guide to Hunting and Trapping in Maryland. Hunter access to Belt Woods NEA will require possession of a free Southern Region Public Hunting Permit and daily reservations available from the Myrtle Grove WMA office. Hunters must park in the designated parking area only. This property can accommodate up to 8 hunters per day. This program is designed to provide managed public hunting access to the site (Belt Woods NEA). After a comprehensive analysis and review of existing activities and practices on the property, park managers, in consultation with wildlife biologists and experts, decided to continue the limited and managed deer hunt program as a vital tool in ongoing efforts to manage the local population of white-tailed deer.” As indicated above the property is open to eight hunters per day by permit and reservation.
