CALVERT COUNTY, Md. – On Saturday, November 18, the Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) along with federal, state, and local agencies participated in a special operation to detect and deter trespassing and illegal hunting activity on private property.
Operation “Woodland Fox” concentrated on the 2200 acres of woodlands and fields adjoining the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. This area is visibly posted against trespassing and considered sensitive, especially for Maryland’s Homeland Security.
The Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, Maryland National Guard 32nd Civil Support Team, Constellation Energy’s Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Security Force, Calvert Control Center and the St. Leonard Volunteer Fire Department participated in the operation along with NRP’s Search, Tactic, and Rescue (STAR) Team.
Neither the NRP or the Calvert County Sheriff's Office could be reached for comment on the cost of the operation, the amount of manpower involved, or related arrests.
