Within the Department of Natural Resources, the Forest Service oversees Maryland's State Forest System, which, as of 2023, covers 229,807 acres, up from the 229,310 acres in 2022. The System encompasses nine State forests (150,311 acres); the Chesapeake Forest Lands (73,361 acres); five demonstration forests (5,769 acres); one tree nursery (299 acres); and sixteen fire towers (45 acres). Demonstration forests show short- and long-term effects of sound forest and wildlife management practices.
