Volunteers needed to help plant trees
We were recently made aware of an older property owner facing a deadline which could impact their ability to achieve a permanent conservation easement along the banks of the Antietam Creek in Washington County, MD. This owner needs to have over 100 trees planted by the end of the month to meet an existing conservation requirement. Volunteers are desperately needed to make this happen!
The deadline for the planting is one that simply can't wait out the rain. We are scheduling a work event for THIS Friday 9/27 from 9am-3pm (or longer if we wish). If we do not get the work finished, we may return to the property the afternoon of Saturday 9/28.
Volunteers will be needed to help...
Dig holes
Plant 100+ 1-3 gallon stock trees
