Planting trees for the Chesapeake

With the ability to soak up pollution like a sponge, trees have a central role in the Chesapeake Bay watershed restoration effort. While a farmer might plant a riparian forest buffer to stabilize eroding streambanks, a city might plant trees to reduce stormwater and provide valuable shade to overheated neighborhoods. Trees protect rivers and streams all through the Chesapeake, which means cleaner water flowing to the Bay. State and federal agencies, cities and nonprofits are all working to return trees to the region, which includes parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Delaware, as well as the District of Columbia. Hear from staff at one such nonprofit, the James River Association, as they plant trees for both aquatic life and people, both upstream and downstream.
