Cheers to all that attended the Re-Leaf the Reserve Program Launch. With a backdrop of 200 trees on Re-Leaf's first acre along the Little Monocacy, Gwen Wright from Montgomery County Planning heralded the "beginning of a beautiful relationship" - recognizing MCA and her own staff members for taking the program from an idea to trees in the ground in just a few months, cutting through the paperwork to work at the speed befitting the warming climate we face.
But- this is just the beginning. While one acre planted is the equivalent of taking 17 cars off the road, we have much bigger goals. MCA has identified 80 acres of stream-adjacent land in need of similar reforestation. You can be part of this program! Sign up to host trees or help with planting here. Downcounty residents can take advantage of programs to reforest their properties too.
Amy Seely was there to represent Gardens by Garth who ably planted the trees.
President of the Town of Poolesville Commissioners Jerry Kolbukowski and planning staff members Robert Kronenberg and Mark Pfefferle were also in attendence. Thanks to all that were there to witness the start of a new forest!
