The University of Baltimore community is invited to help the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's volunteer effort to plant trees throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed—an extended effort to slow down runoff and mitigate soil erosion into the bay. A group of UB students, faculty and staff will travel to a large dairy farm in Carroll County on Saturday, Oct. 23 to plant trees and shrubs in strategic locations. The project is part of the Farm Stewardship Program in the Monacacy River watershed.
A carpool will leave from campus at 7:30 a.m. and return at about 3:30 p.m. Volunteers are advised to dress for the weather. Equipment and refreshments will be provided. You can R.S.V.P. via UB's Web calendar.
If you can't attend the Oct. 23 event, check out another tree-planting opportunity on Oct. 30, being held on a cattle farm near Shepardstown, W. Va.
