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.

  • Green Ridge State Forest
    Green Ridge State Forest Driving Tour (44 miles, approximately 3 hours) This driving tour begins and ends at the forest headquarters and is approximately 44 miles. We recommend that you bring a picnic lunch with you, as it will take approximately three hours to complete the tour. For added enjoyment, you may want to bring binoculars, cameras, GPS units, and field guides. At 47,560 acres, Green Ridge State Forest (Green Ridge) is the largest adjoining block of public land in Maryland. Green Ridge is located within the Ridge and Valley Province of the Appalachian Mountains. It is rich in both natural and cultural heritage and remains a "working forest," as it is managed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Forest Service to conserve the natural ecological processes, while supporting the economy of the region through an active forest management program. The Maryland Forest Service mission is to restore, Department Photo manage, and protect Maryland's trees, forests, and forested ecosystems to sustain our natural resources and connect people to the land. The Maryland Forest Service invites you to take this opportunity to become better acquainted with your state forest and the benefits it offers. This self-guided tour is designed so you can enjoy the beauty of Green Ridge and learn about the forest’s management and its many assets. Narratives within this tour focus on the autumn setting, but we believe you will find your state forest offers beauty and splendor each time you visit, no matter the season. We hope you enjoy your tour through Green Ridge.
