As part of updating the Maryland Land Preservation and Recreation Plan, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources<\/a> and its partner, GreenPlay, LLC, will be hosting a series of information sessions and workshops to solicit public comment and stakeholder feedback on land conservation and outdoor recreation.<\/p>\n

Residents and nonresidents are invited to attend.<\/p>\n
