Current Forest Protection Legislation
Once again, forest protection champion Liz Walsh has introduced legislation to strengthen Howard County’s current tree protection. The county touts the recently-enacted Forest Conservation Plan as being one of the strongest in the state HOWEVER it still allows for year-over-year tree loss and will still allow dangerous run-off to continue in flood-prone areas like Old Ellicott City.
Walsh’s bill CB-30 increases reforestation requirements, and strengthens some of the glaring gaps in the county’s current Plan.
PDHC will be submitting testimony supporting this important piece of legislation.
We have partnered with local environmental organizations in order to help educate the community & advocate for better policies
