Trust & standards
Corrections keep the guide reliable.
Maryland places, wildlife, and access details are too important to leave wrong once an error is noticed. Corrections may involve factual mistakes, unclear wording, misplaced links, misleading planning language, or structural changes that keep field use safer and more accurate.
Corrections cover factual mistakes, misleading wording, broken routes, and other problems that need a visible fix once they are identified.
What counts as a correction
- Incorrect facts about species, habitats, places, access, or seasonality.
- Broken or misleading local links that send visitors to the wrong destination.
- Wording that unintentionally implies certainty where conditions vary.
- Statements that need clearer legal, safety, or ethics framing.
What counts as maintenance instead
Some work improves usefulness without correcting an outright error. That can include stronger navigation, richer public-land pages, broader species coverage, better imagery, or clearer section structure. Those changes belong on the maintenance page rather than here.
