Maryland Forest Loss Overstated Says Federal Review
Federal officials contest Maryland state figures, reporting 1965 to 1985 forestland loss at 91,000 acres, far less than the state’s 460,000 acre decline. Suburban Baltimore counties show a net gain of about 30,000 acres, while planning data note a 55,000 acre decline over 1973 to 1985, prompting renewed interest in local preservation laws.

Map error mars memorial for Korean War dead in Baltimore
The designer of Baltimore’s $750,000 Korea War Memorial map omitted the DMZ, the demilitarized border between North and South Korea. Veterans and a geography professor call the omission a serious misrepresentation, arguing the DMZ, 148 miles long, marks the final two years of the war and honors fallen troops.
