There are so many environmental organizations in our area doing great work. But there are not many where we can all get our hands dirty and actually make a difference. Enter Save Our Trees!
We all love our trees. In fact, the City of Annapolis is a leader in expanding and preserving our tree canopy. But there is a problem--invasive vines that tangle their way up tree trunks robbing them of nutrients. And when that happens, the problems multiply with dying trees, expanded propagation of the vines thanks to birds, decreased stability due to the growth of the vines acting as a "sail", and more.
Save Our Trees takes a three-pronged approach--act, educate, and advocate. You can act by joining them in a clearing event or clearing trees in your own backyard. You can help them educate by arranging a community meeting where people can learn about the issues. And you can advocate by making sure your local, county, state, and federal leaders know this is an important issue!
We spoke with them last year and a lot has happened as they have expanded into schools, libraries, and communities. Notably they have become an official program of the Anne Arundel County Watershed Stewards Academy. And more notably still, they have saved (at the latest count) 5,117 trees! Have a listen!
