29 Apr Planting Trees for Earth Day
Trees improve our quality of life by improving the air we breathe, providing shade, and even absorbing noise. Several Key Tech’ers spent a beautiful, sunny Earth Day planting trees at Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle School with the students, faculty, and staff, as well as Baltimore City Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and Maryland Lt. Governor Anthony Brown.
Marylanders interested in planting a tree, whether on their own property or in a public space, can take advantage of several government initiatives to plant 1 million new trees by 2011. 42,626 trees have also been planted by private citizens since the program started, putting the State close to a 50,000 tree target for individuals. Maybe you can help.
