Preserving Maryland's Conservation Agency History
Green Ridge State Forest is a haven of calm and natural beauty among the
Appalachians of western Maryland. This land was once the frontier of the nation,
and trailblazers such as Thomas Cresap and George Washington were among the
first Europeans to discover its wonders: the swift Potomac, flowering dogwood
and pine in the mountain reaches and the nighttime calls of the bobcat and the
barred owl. The vision and stewardship of people like forester Fred W. Besley
preserved the forest for future generations of hikers, explorers and families.
Join former forest manager Champ Zumbrun as he traverses hidden trails to tell
the remarkable story of Green Ridge State Forest.
