"Buffer in a Bag"

Email: backyardbufferccmg@gmail.com

This program provides free tree seedlings to Charles County residents with the goal to enhance water quality. It is intended to assist homeowners who have a waterway on or adjacent to their property. When planted, the trees provide a streamside buffer.

A streamside buffer can create habitat for wildlife, reduce peak summer temperatures, and reduce the amount of sediment, fertilizer and toxic materials that enter our waterways. Deep-rooted trees and shrubs can also stabilize streambanks, protecting them from erosion.

What’s in the bundle?
16 bareroot seedlings, 4 species of each: American Persimmon, Sycamore, Northern Red Oak, and Buttonbush. These species are best suited for moist to wet soils.

Tree seedlings distribution on April 13, 2024

Bundles are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Species cannot be
separated.

A bundle (16 seedlings) is intended for properties with approximately 0.5 acres
available space for planting. Includes 4 seedlings of each species.

Pickup Date: April 13, 2024 from 9:00 AM- 12:00 PM. Bundles will not be held for additional pickup dates.
