​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 currently identifying spring sites

Some of the species planted this spring include:
Sycamore, red oak, river birch, black cherry, eastern red cedar,  black gum, red maple, white oak. 
​
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 only plant in the Spring.
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.  
I want to Host trees on my property

    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.

MCA is proud to announce that we have been recognized for a third time as one of the best small charities in the D.C. region by Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington. A panel of 110 expert reviewers from area foundations, corporate giving programs, and peer non-profit organizations evaluated 270 applications.

​MCA is known as an effective and innovative non-profit whose efforts to preserve and promote Montgomery County’s nationally recognized 93,000 acre Ag Reserve have brought increased public and governmental support of local food production and farmland and open space preservation. Most importantly, MCA’s efforts are putting more farmers on the ground and keeping them there.
