This program provides free tree seedlings to Charles County residents with the goal to enhance water quality. It is intended to assist homeowners who have a waterway on or adjacent to their property. When planted, the trees provide a streamside buffer.
A streamside buffer can create habitat for wildlife, reduce peak summer temperatures, and reduce the amount of sediment, fertilizer and toxic materials that enter our waterways. Deep-rooted trees and shrubs can also stabilize streambanks, protecting them from erosion.
