    Section 2-Existing Conditions-Patuxent Branch Trail

    Section 2: Existing Conditions The study area for the Patuxent Branch Trail Extension Feasibility Study encompasses the area between the northern limit of the existing Patuxent Branch Trail near Lake Elkhorn and Downtown Columbia. See Figure 2.1 for a map of the study area and the desired connection. Patuxent Branch Trail The 4.6-mile Patuxent Branch Trail serves as a recreation and commuter trail in Howard County, Maryland. Following the north/south direction of the Patuxent River, the trail runs from Savage Park to Columbia’s Lake Elkhorn at Broken Land Parkway. Currently, the trail serves as a hiker/biker trail with paved and unpaved segments. Downtown Columbia Revitalization In 2010, Howard County approved a 30-year master plan for Downtown Columbia. Thirteen million square feet of retail, commercial, residential, hotel and cultural development is planned during the downtown development project. The plan includes a number of features and programs designed to enhance the sustainability of Downtown by improving public transportation, enhancing pedestrian and cycling connections within and into downtown, and improved stormwater and watershed management. A key part of the Downtown Columbia Revitalization plan is the Downtown Columbia Multi-Use Path. The 10-foot wide shared-use path will run 3.25 miles from Howard General Hospital to Blandair Park, crossing the southern boundary of Downtown Columbia. The first phase of the pathway is under construction and future phases may potentially connect with the Patuxent Branch Trail Extension. Broken Land Parkway Broken Land Parkway is considered a major roadway connection for motorists traveling in the north/south direction between Downtown Columbia and RT 32.

  • Patuxent Research Refuge Established in 1936 by Executive Order of President Franklin D

    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Patuxent Research Refuge Established in 1936 by executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Patuxent Research Refuge is the nation’s only National Wildlife Refuge established to support wildlife research. With land surrounding the Patuxent and Little Patuxent Rivers between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD, the Refuge has grown from the original 2,670 acres to its present size of 12,750 acres and encompasses land formerly managed by the Departments of Agriculture and Defense. Throughout decades of change, Patuxent’s mission of conserving and protecting the nation’s wildlife and habitat through research and wildlife management techniques has remained virtually unchanged. Introduction Patuxent Research Refuge supports a wide diversity of wildlife in forest, meadow, and wetland habitats. The land is managed to maintain biological diversity for the protection and benefit of native and migratory species. During the fall and spring migrations, many waterfowl species stop to rest and feed. Over 200 species of birds occur on the refuge. A nesting pair of bald eagles has used the North Tract of the Refuge since 1989. Increasing forest fragmentation in the area due to urban development has damaged many populations of neotropical migratory birds. The refuge is one of the largest forested areas in the mid-Atlantic region and provides critical breeding habitat and an important nesting area for these species. Patuxent Research Refuge is divided into three areas: 1) North Tract, which offers hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, trails, and many interpretive programs 2) Central Tract, where the offices and study sites of the many research biologists are located, and 3) South Tract, where the National Wildlife Visitor Center and its trails are located.

    EARLY HISTORY of PATUXENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH CENTER (Circa 1948) by Dr

    1 EARLY HISTORY OF PATUXENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH CENTER (circa 1948) by Dr. L. B. Morley A REPORT ON THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE PATUXENT RESEARCH REFUGE Introduction In the short span of twelve years the Patuxent Research Refuge has become an important institution in the program of wildlife restoration. It is a monument to those who have helped make it possible because they believed that research was a basic necessity. The Refuge was developed during the critical years of the depression and continued to progress through the turmoil of World War II. History was accelerated and little opportunity was given for the recording of events. Permanency has come to the Patuxent Refuge and with it organization and unfaltering progress toward the designed destiny. The period of confusion is past and the early construction scars have heeled. The function of the Refuge will remain an existing accomplishment, but the original incidents and events concerned with its founding and development already have become legendary. It is appropriate that the facts be recorded and that the history of the first national Wildlife Experiment Station be complete. Purpose The riotous squandering of our most valuable and priceless heritage, our natural resources, is appalling when we compare the duration of our national history with that of civilization. Many are cognizant of the recreational and economic importance of wildlife, and with the endless problems concerned with maintaining or restoring it, but too few, having no selfish or partisan interests, can or will contribute what is demanded. The new conception of wildlife requirements recognized the need for research as a prerequisite of building and administering an intelligent and practical program.
