The Land Preservation and Recreation Plan is prepared every five years to identify essential and contemporary issues impacting outdoor recreation and natural resource protection in Maryland. This Plan was developed using public input gathered through surveys, stakeholder meetings and thorough analysis of national, state and local issues impacting recreation and natural resource conservation.

Bike Maryland’s Executive Director, Carol Silldorff, a member of the Department of Natural Resources Trail Committee, thanks the committee members and Steve Carr, Department of Natural Resources Trails Planner, for their commitment to making access to bicycling a priority! We also thank everyone who participated in the recreation surveys.

Final approval of the Land Preservation Recreation Plan from the National Park Service has been received.
