In 1936, a group of prominent Baltimore County sportsmen concerned about conservation of wildlife and natural habitats formed the
Baltimore County Game & Fish Protective
Association. Membership required a love and understanding of the great outdoors and a
desire to improve wildlife preservation through education, conservation, and support of
related legislation. Since then, the association has
gone on to provide a valuable and needed community
resource to sportsmen and non-sportsmen alike.

Conservation
The BCGF property is actively
managed for the conservation of local wildlife. It
remains a natural oasis in an area of surrounding
housing developments. The BCGF pond holds a number
of native fish species and is also stocked yearly.
Many types of woodland wildlife may be observed,
including whitetail deer, red fox, and many
smaller species of mammals and birds. |
