assistance from the United States Government, under the provisions
of the Federal Aid in Fish and Wildlife Restoration Acts.
As of June 1967, the Department owned twenty-nine Wildlife Man-
agement Areas, totaling approximately 70,000 acres, and twenty-eight
public fishing lakes and ponds, totaling approximately 230 surface
areas. In addition, the Department leased many other areas which
are managed under the Maryland Cooperative Wildlife Management
Program, providing for small game and mourning dove hunting.
The Department has also initiated the program of reestablishing the
wild turkey, involving the trapping and the subsequent release of
suitable birds on the Eastern Shore and in Western Maryland.
In all sections of Maryland, the Department has especially empha-
sized habitat improvement on private and public lands for the pur-
pose of increasing wildlife populations. In cooperation with the
Department of Forests and Parks, it manages wildlife populations on
more than 100,000 acres of State Forest lands.
The Commission owns and operates a fresh water fish hatchery for
trout at Beaver Creek in Washington County. It also owns and
operates trout rearing stations at Bear Creek, Garrett County. A warm
water fish rearing station is located and operated near Elkton, in Cecil
County. Approximately 100 major surface water areas, containing
more than five acres each, have been stocked with warm and cold
water species and over 100 streams received quotas of commercially
purchased or State-hatchery reared fish annually.
The Department rears over 100,000 (30,000 lbs.) adult trout (brook,
brown, and rainbow) each year and 50,000 fingerlings. In addition,
over 50,000 adult trout ana 150,000 fingerling trout were obtained
from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Approximately 2,000,000
walleye fry were also obtained for the Reservoir Management
Program.
The Department has also initiated the basic inventories of all major
game animals and bird species to guide future management decisions.
