Snow Hill, Maryland – As part of the 2027 Worcester County Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan (LPPRP) updating process, Worcester County Recreation and Parks and Environmental Programs professionals invite area residents to participate in public engagement sessions on January 27 and February 5, 2026. Residents are also invited to take part in the LPPRP survey before the deadline of April 1 at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QRCJPH6.
The LPPRP serves as guide for conservation and park planning and program improvements. The plan emphasizes public input in recreational activities that the county provides, facility availability, and accessibility for underserved communities. The plan also inventories land for conservation and agricultural preservation, and it identifies goals and strategies for land conservation. Have an opinion about county parks or land conservation? Worcester County Recreation and Parks staff want to hear from you.
The sessions will be opportunities for Worcester County citizens to ask questions, share ideas, and provide input on opportunities and priorities for conservation, parks, and recreation in the next five years. Maps depicting land preservation and parks, discussion on the needs assessment survey, and the capital budget for park improvement projects, will be briefly shared.
All ages are welcome to attend and participate in the sessions, which will take place at the following locations:
- Tuesday, January 27, from 6-8 p.m. at Worcester County Recreation Center, located at 6030 Public Landing Road in Snow Hill
- Thursday, February 5, from 6-8 p.m. at the Berlin Branch Library, located at 13 Harrison Avenue in Berlin
Under state law this plan must be updated every five years for the county to remain eligible for state Program Open Space funds. For more information, please contact Katherine Munson at kmunson@co.worcester.md.us or 410-632-1220.
