  • Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50Th Anniversary
    Maryland State Parks Plant 10,000 Trees for Earth Day 50th Anniversary Posted by TBN(Staff) On 04/23/2020 The Maryland Park Service is planting more than 10,000 trees in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2020. From the shores of Assateague Island to the mountains of Western Maryland, rangers will plant native trees on public lands to mark the occasion. A special Wye Oak seedling — a descendant of a white oak that lived for centuries in Talbot County — was planted at Sandy Point State Park near Annapolis by Maryland Park Service Superintendent Nita Settina. “Once this white oak tree matures, it will support more than 500 species of insects essential to feeding young birds every spring,” said Superintendent Settina. The white oak — Quercus alba — is Maryland’s state tree, and is found in every county and Baltimore City. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources stresses the importance of planting native trees and other plants, which support Maryland’s butterfly, moth, and bird populations. According to the Maryland Forest Service, trees also provide cost-effective stormwater management, reduce flooding by absorbing and slowing rainfall, limit stream bank erosion, filter pollutants, improve water quality in streams and rivers, improve air quality, reduce energy costs by shading and insulating buildings, and much more. Through various initiatives, the Maryland Forest Service plants millions of trees and seedlings each year. “Planting native trees on our public lands is a perfect way to mark this special Earth Day,” Maryland Secretary of Natural Resources Secretary Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio said. “The most important lesson of the past 50 years is that everyone can make a difference and every contribution, no matter how big or small, is vital to our overall success.
