Sen. Alloway, Alliance For Chesapeake Bay Announce Oct. 17 Tree Planting Event

Sen. Richard Alloway II (R-Franklin) and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay are asking local residents to participate in a tree-planting events in Cumberland and Franklin counties on October 17.

As part of the Alliance’s “Trees for Tomorrow” program, trees will be planted throughout the district to serve as riparian buffers to protect water quality. The goal of the program is to plant at least 10,000 trees throughout the region.

Sen. Alloway is requesting volunteers to serve as tree planters and site captains. The total number of trees planted will depend on the number of volunteers available and the level of corporate sponsorship.

“Planting near rivers, streams and creeks is a great way to reduce runoff pollution and help the state comply with federal pollution reduction mandates,” Sen. Alloway said. “The success of this event will depend on the number of local individuals and organizations who are willing to help. Given the number of generous and civic-minded individuals in our local communities, I am optimistic we can reach our goal of adding at least 10,000 trees throughout the area.”

Sen. Alloway urged local individuals, businesses or organizations who are interested in serving as volunteers or corporate sponsors to contact any of Sen. Alloway’s offices or register online.
