MARYLAND MANUAL 93

Swallow Falls, and New Germany, on the Savage River, have re-
ceived intensive public use.

In like manner, the Department is charged with the administra-
tion and development of seven State Parks, with a total area of 4,110
acres. In normal times, these are visited by a total of some 466,000
persons annually.

Still another responsibility of the Department is the protection of
approximately 3,000,000 trees along Maryland's public highways.
To this end, it employs a force of highly trained wardens to super-
vise tree trimming operations by public utility companies along
their pole-line rights-of-way.
