The plan is also designed to serve as the basis for submitting the route for nomination as a National Scenic Byway through the Federal Highway Administration’s America’s Byways Program. The plan meets the fourteen requirements of a corridor management plan as spelled out in the May 18, 1995 Interim Policy published in the Federal Register. The plan is a statement about how the partnerships between local government, state agencies, civic organizations, residents and the owners and St. Clements Island celebrates the birthplace of Maryland operators of historic sites and visitor attractions will work together to achieve the byway’s goals.

  • Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St
    Birding in Southern Maryland Calvert, Charles, St. Mary’s and Southern Prince George’s Counties Produced by Southern Maryland Audubon Society Society Birding in Southern Maryland This brochure was especially designed for birders. If you are traveling through and have the urge to bird for a while, we hope this brochure will help you locate some spots local birders enjoy without wasting time looking for them. Our list in the back of this brochure includes some less common sightings as well as resident and migrant birds. If you are a resident birder, we hope you will eventually be able to put a checkmark beside each species. Good Birding! NOTE: Any birds sighted which are not on the checklist in the back of this brochure or are marked with an asterisk should be reported to [email protected]. Species notations, such as preferred habitat and seasonality are listed at the end of the checklist in the back of this brochure. Olive Sorzano 1920-1989 This brochure is dedicated to the memory of Olive Sorzano, a charter member of the Southern Maryland Audubon Society from 1971 until her death in 1989. A warm, generous, kind and thoughtful person, Olive came to represent the very soul of Southern Maryland Audubon. Throughout the years, she held various positions on the Board of Directors and willingly helped with nearly all activities of the growing chapter. She attended every membership meeting and every field trip, always making sure that new members were made welcome and novice birders were encouraged and assisted. Living on the Potomac River in Fenwick, a wooded community in Bryans Road, Maryland, she studied her land and water birds, keeping a daily list of what she saw or heard with her phenomenal ears.

  • Understanding the Politics of Smart Growth in the American States
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: GROWING EXPECTATIONS: UNDERSTANDING THE POLITICS OF SMART GROWTH IN THE AMERICAN STATES. Regina C. Gray, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Directed By: Professor Eric M. Uslaner, Department of Government and Politics When asked what is on the minds of voters during the previous two national election cycles, many citizens responded unfavorably to air pollution, traffic congestion, and inadequate access to public facilities, parks and recreation. They specifically blame the lack of open space as the basis of their discontent. What voters are concerned about is sprawl—a condition in which development is too widely spread throughout a limited geographical area. This kind of random, unplanned development creates negative externalities on the infrastructure of cities, suburbs, and some rural areas, but also leads to environmental hazards like smog and stormwater runoff. Smart Growth initiatives seek to remove the barriers to homeownership, public services, and job opportunities by providing access to valuable land resources in suburban and urban centers. Twenty states have implemented Smart Growth policies. As other states continue to grapple with ways to address sprawl, many of them have begun to experiment with similar strategies, such as urban growth boundaries, limitations on exclusionary zoning, and the imposition of impact or development fees to stave off encroaching development. The interesting question is under what conditions do states consider instituting these innovative approaches to address society’s most pressing problems? And this dissertation specifically asks: Under what conditions will states adopt a Smart Growth strategy to address urban sprawl? Based on my research, I concluded that the political determinants of public policy matter more than economic considerations, such as the health of the state economy.

  • Port Tobacco River Conservancy News
    Port Tobacco River Conservancy News WINTER/SPRING 2016 VOLUME 5, ISSUE 2 Jerry Forbes to Step Down as PTRC President Long-time PTRC President Jerry Forbes announced that he will step down from that role effective May 5, 2016. Jerry will remain on the PTRC Board and will help with the transition to new leadership—at least during the months ahead when he is not traveling to Scotland, fishing in Minnesota, attending his high school reunion in Illinois, or enjoying the Monterrey Jazz Festival. Jerry became active in PTRC in 2004 and has served as Board President since 2010. He managed some of PTRC’s major grant- funded projects, including planting over 1,800 native seedling trees over 4.3 acres providing a 50-foot buffer along eroded banks of two tributaries, building rain gardens at McDonough High School, helping a farmer put in a well and fence his cattle out of a tributary of the Port Tobacco Creek, and constructing a swale that filters water draining off the Hawthorne golf course before it reaches the Port Tobacco Creek. Jerry is a resident of Port Tobacco and Senior Scientist at The Energetics Technology Center, Inc., in St. Charles, MD, as well as Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park. “Working with PTRC has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” said Jerry. “Our projects have made a real difference to the health of the Port Tobacco watershed and have given people the opportunity to interact with the river and the watershed in many ways, and to value its natural, scenic beauty.
