The Pollinator Habitat Plan for the Maryland Environmental Service (MES) was developed in response to the 2016 Pollinator Habitat Plan legislation of the Maryland General Assembly, House Bill 132 (HB 132/Ch.614, Section 2, 2016).
This legislation directed three State agencies, MES, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration, to each establish pollinator habitat plans for properties they own by July 1, 2017.
As required by the plan, MES will be reporting to the General Assembly by January 1, 2018 on the implementation of the MES pollinator habitat plan. A copy of the MES Pollinator Habitat Plan can be found here. You can also get more information by contacting Erin Lanagan, Chief of Safety and Environmental Compliance, or calling 410-729-8209.
