Please join us on Wednesday,
July 15th at 11:00 AM (Eastern) for an on-line webcast,
featuring the Maryland Tree Registry and Aggregating
Tree Benefits Calculator, developed by the MD-DNR
and its partners. The tree registry enables Maryland
residents to register multiple trees and aggregate their
collective benefits using real time, locally generated
costs. Data related to registered trees will be used to
help Maryland track tree planting efforts as citizens
and communities work to meet the tree planting goal of
50,000 trees in 2011, and the tree planting goal of one
million trees in 2050.
