​Re-Leaf the Reserve, part of the Reforest Montgomery program, offers free reforestation to property owners in the Ag Reserve.
Forests give us so much - thanks for being willing to support more trees in the Ag Reserve. There are as many ways to help as there are species in the forest and it will take everyone working together to achieve our ambitious reforestation goals. Please click the way you want to help and fill in the information (you can pick more than one!) We will be in touch to follow up. 
At left planting near Little Monocacy River tributary.

We are mostly planting in Fall each year. 

Some of the species planted recently include:
Sycamore, red oak, river birch, black cherry, eastern red cedar,  black gum, red maple, white oak. We focus on native species.
​
We are specifically looking for acreage near stream buffers. Hosting a forest through Re-Leaf the Reserve is a long term commitment, requiring recordation of a Category I Forest Conservation Easement to protect the area planted. This easement is permanent and transfers with the ownership of the property. A forest deserves forever.  

See the MOU with the  Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission  that will need to be signed here.  
Note: Thanks so much to all the property owners that have signed up to host trees!  Please note that we may not get to you for a site visit for some time. We mostly plant in the Fall.
Please note: The Re-Leaf Reserve program is only for properties in the Ag Reserve. Unsure? Click here to check your zoning.  If you live in another part of the county, you may be interested in learning more about the other programs of Reforest Montgomery.

    Thanks! Tell us a bit about your property...

    We will add you to our email list - you can opt out at any time
    The Ag Reserve is the Northern third of the county and properties in the Ag Reserve will have "AR" on their tax bill.  At this time- we are only starting reforestation projects in the Ag Reserve. Click this link to check your zoning before you apply.   If you live downcounty, there are a number of options to get you trees on your property- either free - or at at discount.

Can you support the Re-Leaf Program with a tax-deductible donation? Your gift will really help this program get off the ground (and get trees into the ground). Thanks!
