The Landscape Master Plan
The addition of the Forest Conservation and Recovery Plan, created the need to make substantial changes to the “natural” forest that exists on the western part of the campus. The approach to meeting the State mandate is unique. It is unique in the State of Maryland and, of course, to Frederick Community College.

State designated “invasive species” will be removed from the forested area, and non-invasive species of trees and shrubs will be planted among the remaining forest. The density of the plant materials will allow the forest to act as a substantial buffer for its residential neighbors. The new plantings will reflect native Maryland species. The end result will be a more diverse forest. The diversity will allow its’ use as a wildlife habitat, bird sanctuary, and plant materials aboratory.
