Planting & Care of your TREE-MENDOUS Trees
Spring trees are available for pick-up or delivery by about mid-March. Fall trees are available around mid-September.
Be actively involved in enhancing your community open spaces and rights-of-ways, school grounds and neighborhood parks. Help establish forest buffers of trees and shrubs along streams and creeks and rivers to support Stream ReLeaf, and work towards improving and protecting the health of the community and the Chesapeake Bay. If your community, large or small, is actively involved in tree planting and care, contact your local Department of Natural Resources Forester for information on being recognized as a Maryland PLANT Community.
Trees can be picked up at Shemin Nurseries in Burtonsville, or you may arrange for delivery for an additional fee.
"Rooted securely in the earth trees reach toward the heavens…[they] literally hold the world together.
Their leaves receive the Sun’s energy for the benefit of all terrestrial creatures and transpire torrents of
water vapor into the atmosphere. Their branches and trunks provide shelter, food, and habitat for mammals,
birds, amphibians, insects, and other plants. And their roots anchor the mysterious underworld of rock and
soil…trees are remarkable beings.“ – David Suzuki and Wayne Grady, Tree: A Life Story
