Planners outline enforcement for new forestry law in Frederick County
Frederick County planning officials draft an ordinance to enforce a state forest conservation law set to take effect by January 1, 1963. The proposal allocates about 70,000 dollars for two new staff positions to review and enforce reforestation plans, with no state funding. Fees would cover all county costs and fines, feeding a restricted special fund for tree planting.
