The State of Maryland as instituted a few programs to help reach their new found appreciation of Mother Earth. Our fair state is known as "Little America" , we have the Atlantic ocean on our Eastern Shore , many Agricultural areas in the middle and of course , the Applachain Trail toward the West.
With this in mind , the Governor , Martin O'Malley , along with the guidance of many committees has developed a few unique oppurtunities to help Maryland citizens to Go GREEN. The NEW logo says. "MAryland- Smart, Green & Growing"
I found the following program of interest as I my little part of the world is not near the shoreline:
"Plant and be counted !"
Today the State of Maryland is partnering with businesses, communities and citizens like you to help fund and plant new tree cover. Our State agencies are working to plant 1 million new trees by 2011, and we're asking private citizens to join us by planting 50,000 trees by 2010.
Well , I have printed my coupon and will be scouring the local nurseries for a great Tree to plant that will fit into the natural landscape of the yard. After I started thinking about it , this also would make a great "Housewarming Gift" for many of our clients ! To find the right tree : LIST of ACCEPTABLE TREES
Maryland State has a goal of 50,000 trees to be planted by 2010 and I am sure that if the Realtors of this fine state help with this program it would speak volumes toward our dedication to going green in our own backyard first !
Here is the that is updated weekly as of September 16, 2009 only 16,930 trees have been planted. My fellow Marylanders we have a long way to go !
P.S. Don't forget to join your fellow citizens in achieving our 50,000 tree goal by registering every tree you plant.
