Governor's Commission
In 2004 the Governor created, via executive order 01.01.2004.53, the Governor's Commission for Protecting the Chesapeake Bay through Sustainable Forestry. The purpose of the commission was to meet the goals of the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement by recommending creative ways and means to financially underwrite Maryland’s landscape goals for the 21st Century by developing forest landscape policy goals that measurably result in the expansion and connection of contiguous forests in the Bay watershed.
