  • Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50Th Anniversary
    Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50th Anniversary Posted by TBN(Staff) On 04/23/2020 The Maryland Park Service is planting more than 10,000 trees in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2020. From the shores of Assateague Island to the mountains of Western Maryland, rangers will plant native trees on public lands to mark the occasion. A special Wye Oak seedling — a descendant of a white oak that lived for centuries in Talbot County — was planted at Sandy Point State Park near Annapolis by Maryland Park Service Superintendent Nita Settina. “Once this white oak tree matures, it will support more than 500 species of insects essential to feeding young birds every spring,” said Superintendent Settina. The white oak — Quercus alba — is Maryland’s state tree, and is found in every county and Baltimore City. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources stresses the importance of planting native trees and other plants, which support Maryland’s butterfly, moth, and bird populations. According to the Maryland Forest Service, trees also provide cost-effective stormwater management, reduce flooding by absorbing and slowing rainfall, limit stream bank erosion, filter pollutants, improve water quality in streams and rivers, improve air quality, reduce energy costs by shading and insulating buildings, and much more. Through various initiatives, the Maryland Forest Service plants millions of trees and seedlings each year. “Planting native trees on our public lands is a perfect way to mark this special Earth Day,” Maryland Secretary of Natural Resources Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “The most important lesson of the past 50 years is that everyone can make a difference and every contribution, no matter how big or small, is vital to our overall success.

Leonard Strategic Management Plan Debbie Cooper Mary Owens Park Manager Director of Planning Nita Settina Chris Bushman Superintendent Deputy Superintendent August 1, 2019 Date Prepared Updates Tuckahoe State Park Tuckahoe State Park SSStrategicStrategic Management Plan 2012019999 Overview This document is the result of a statewide initiative by the Maryland Park Service to develop strategic management plans for its properties in order to establish a path toward a sustainable future. 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 historical 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 state park system. Part 2: Park Resources This section identifies and describes park-specific resources including natural resources, cultural and historical 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.

  • STAFF DRAFT RACHEL CARSON GREENWAY TRAIL CORRIDOR PLAN – APPROVAL to PRINT for PUBLIC HEARING (No Public Testimony Will Be Taken) ______
    MONTGOMERY COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PARK & PLANNING THE MARYLAND-NATIONAL CAPITAL PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSION 8787 Georgia Avenue Silver Spring, Maryland 20910-3760 3/31/05 MCPB Item No: ____ March 23, 2005 MEMORANDUM TO: Montgomery County Planning Board VIA: Jeff Zyontz, Chief, Countywide Planning Division John E. Hench, Ph.D., PPRA Unit Supervisor, CWP Division FROM: Lyn Coleman, Trail Planning Supervisor (301-650-4391) SUBJECT: STAFF DRAFT RACHEL CARSON GREENWAY TRAIL CORRIDOR PLAN – APPROVAL TO PRINT FOR PUBLIC HEARING (No Public Testimony Will Be Taken) _______________________________________________________________________ STAFF RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL to publish for purposes of Public Hearing, tentatively scheduled in May. BACKGROUND The Rachel Carson Greenway, shown in FIGURE 1, stretches for 25 miles from the southern boundary of Montgomery County northward to the Patuxent River State Park. The Countywide Park Trails Plan (1998) identified the need to study this corridor in more detail. In 2003, the Planning Board included the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail Corridor Plan in the 2004-2006 Trails Work Program. In July 2004, the Planning Board approved the plan objectives, plan schedule and the public participation element of the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail Corridor Plan. In accord with the plan schedule approved by the Planning Board, staff has since sponsored two community meetings on plan issues and opportunities (one in the southern part of the corridor, the other in the northern part). Staff has also met with the Sandy Spring Civic Association, the Board of the Sandy Spring Museum, the Neighbors of Northwest Branch and Sandy Spring Green Space. Those attending the above meetings generally expressed support for the concept of an interpretive- based 25-mile greenway.

  • A Guide to Paddle-In Campsites on the Chesapeake Bay
    A Guide to Paddle-in Campsites on the Chesapeake Bay By Ralph Heimlich Kayak touring involves a group loading their boats with all the camping gear and supplies needed for a several-day paddle. Ideally, launches and camping spots for kayak touring are spaced about a day’s paddle apart, say 10-12 miles for the average paddler. Another requirement is that the launch spot should be reasonably secure so that you have some assurance of finding an operable vehicle when you arrive back from the trip trying to drive home. This is a catalog of 57 formal paddle-in sites I know of on the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries. Contact me if I’ve missed any that you know about. There are numerous other “unofficial” (commando) sites that people have used. These are not suitable for groups or organized group trips. Patuxent River—The many sites along the Patuxent Water Trail are shown on the Patuxent Water Trail site (http://patuxentwatertrail.org/, and on the printed Patuxent River Water Trail Guide and GPS-ready Map by Dave Linthicum available at http://paxriverkeeper.org/product/patuxent-watertrail-navigation- map-non-waterproof-edition/. Paddle-in sites are listed by river mile (measured from the mouth of the Patuxent) and from upstream to downstream. Generally, these sites have a picnic table, fire ring, porta- potty and no water (exceptions noted). Reservations should be made well ahead of your planned trip since the process can be time consuming. Iron Pot Landing (River mile 44A (45 on the map))—This site is located just below the Billingsley Point manor house on Western Branch.
