In Garrett County Maryland the state moves to thin a stand around Herrington Manor State Park with bids due May 14 and a September timber harvest. State forester Juul Mash stresses forestry health and wildfire defense while residents fear recreation impact and revenue motives. Guidelines limit cuts near ski trails and set height limits for tops and stumps, with advisory board oversight and potential bond refunds.
