  • Maryland Land Preservation and Recreation Plan 2014-2018
    Maryland Land Preservation and Recreation Plan 2014-2018 Dear Citizens: Our land is the foundation of our economic and social prosperity, rich in productive forests and farms, vital wildlife habitat, opportunities for recreation and tourism, culture and history. 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. Sincerely, Martin O’Malley Joseph P.

In 1791, Pierre L’Enfant laid out the District of Columbia between the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers with 17 park reservations, open space for memorials, civic art, institutions, and broad park-like streets and avenues creating a network of green space. This network was expanded in the late 1800s with the designation of Potomac Park, Rock Creek Park and Anacostia Park.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition, for landscapes that are not currently listed on the National Register and/or do not have adequate documentation, concurrence is required from the State Historic Preservation Officer or the Keeper of the National Register. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures, assists the NPS in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2006), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management.

  • Day Hikes and Overnight/Multi-Day Treks Recommended by NCAC High Adventure Committee Members
    Day Hikes and Overnight/Multi-Day Treks Recommended By NCAC High Adventure Committee Members Introduction: The tables below present a list of some of the favorite hikes submitted by members of the NCAC High Adventure Committee. Please feel free to use this list as a resource to identify day hikes and overnight backpacking treks, all of which will be good for preparing for Philmont. A few helpful points when using this list: - It is non-exhaustive. We are fortunate to have endless hiking possibilities in this region and this list is just a sample of what is available. - These hikes have been ‘trail-tested’ by members of the HAC - Conditions, regulations, and even trail routes and accessibility change. This list was constructed in the fall of 2018. Do some research before hitting the trail to be sure the information below is still accurate. - Most of the hikes have a difficulty rating. These are admittedly qualitative and your experience will depend on the conditions at the time and your level of conditioning. - You will see that the hikes below are not Appalachian Trail treks, though some may cross the trail or be on it for limited mileage. This was intentional for two reasons. First, there is voluminous information available about the myriad of AT options. Second, during spring and summer this region of the AT has a lot of through-hikers and we do not want to contribute to clogging up shelter space that they need. Day hikes on the AT are not problematic, so long as you follow local regulations.
