Part of the beauty of
Baltimore County's regional parks initiative is the preservation of
valuable natural spaces and environmentally sensitive areas. Nearly all
of the regional parks preserve vulnerable stream buffers and woodlands,
and several feature tree-planting and forestation projects. A number of
the parks offer nature trails that allow park visitors to experience and
enjoy the natural environment first-hand. The natural and preserved
areas within the parks help to support Baltimore County's important
environmental initiatives. More than 2/3 of Baltimore County's land
remains rural, and preservation of the rural character of our land - the
farms, woods, and waterways- remains one of the cornerstones of planned
growth and development. |
