Welcome to the Calvert County Forestry Board
The Calvert Forestry Board is a group of citizens who serve as advocates for forestry in Calvert County. Currently we have seven members that have a wide variety of backgrounds including business, teaching, and publishing.
The Board is funded annually by a grant from the Board of Calvert County Commissioners. The Forestry Board uses these resources to support various forest education and awareness activities throughout the County. Just a few examples include the Calvert Envirothon, the Arbor Day Poster Contest, the School Forest Program, the fall Tree Farm Tour, the Natural Resources Careers Camp, and this web site. The Board is committed to promoting the benefits of sustainable forest management in Calvert County. Our logo features the bald cypress tree, the official tree of Calvert County.
