BoardMaryland Land Preservation and Recreation Plan 2027-2037
The 2027-2037 Maryland Land Preservation and Recreation Plan provides a roadmap for managing preserved lands and guiding outdoor recreation opportunities. It focuses on identifying contemporary issues in natural resource protection and expanding equitable access to recreation. The plan's strategic direction is built upon four core principles: stewarding already protected lands, collaboratively growing preserved areas, reinvesting in parks and people, and enhancing blue and green connections. A primary goal is to conserve 40% of the state's land by 2040, aiming to nurture health, community, and economic vitality.
