RePlant Anne Arundel
From 2013 to 2017, Anne Arundel County lost over 2,500 acres of forests, the highest rate of forest loss in any urbanized county in Maryland. In response to this loss, WSA, in partnership with Anne Arundel County and with support from the Helena Foundation, created RePlant Anne Arundel. Since 2020, RePlant Anne Arundel has planted over 20,000 trees and engaged over 4,300 residents!
RePlant Annapolis
Since 2011, the City of Annapolis has lost over 100 acres of canopy cover. The RePlant Annapolis program is focused on helping the City achieve 50% urban tree canopy by 2050. Since 2023, WSA has planted over 280 trees at residences, businesses, community centers, and congregations in the City of Annapolis! You can learn more about the City’s replanting goals here.
WHY DO WE NEED TREES?
Clean water grows on trees! Beyond beautifying our landscapes, trees offer many benefits. Tree canopies reduce stormwater runoff by intercepting and holding rainfall. Tree roots hold soil in place, prevent it from washing into our waterways, and promote infiltration. Trees are also an integral part of our ecology, giving food and shelter to native animals such as birds.

Backyard BUffers
