DID YOU KNOW the MD Department of Natural Resources Forest Service is offering FREE native tree and shrub seedlings to homeowners who have a stream or other waterway on or adjacent to their property and are interested in creating a streamside buffer?
This program is designed to assist homeowners with land 5 acres or less, who have a stream or other waterway on or adjacent to their property.
A streamside buffer can create habitat for wildlife, reduce peak water temperatures, and reduce the amount of sediment, fertilizer, and toxic materials that enter our waterways. Deep rooted trees and shrubs can also stabilize stream banks, protecting them from erosion. Supplies are limited, first come - first served.
