The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is reminding the public to leave wild fawns alone, as taking them from their natural habitat is unnecessary, dangerous, and illegal. While solitary fawns may appear orphaned, their mothers are usually nearby foraging, and human intervention typically causes severe stress, injury, or malnutrition for the animal.
The Maryland Department of Agriculture is monitoring western Maryland hardwood trees after a mid-April frost and severe caterpillar outbreaks left large forest areas in Allegany, Garrett, and Washington counties completely stripped of leaves. While impacted trees are expected to grow a new set of leaves by late June or early July, state forest officials will continue tracking these native caterpillar populations to monitor long-term canopy health into 2027.
