Annapolis, MD - RePlant Annapolis is a city-funded tree planting program designed to restore the City of Annapolis’s forest canopy by planting trees at homes. Tree Troopers are trained volunteers who are passionate about planting trees in their communities! Their dedication to the mission of RePlant Anne Arundel and RePlant Annapolis is a primary driver of increasing tree canopy throughout the area. The trees they plant will reduce stormwater runoff and improve water quality in the Chesapeake Bay for years to come, which is why those at RePlant like to say “clean water grows on trees!”
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, has created RePlant Anne Arundel. Since 2020, RePlant Anne Arundel has planted over 12,000 trees and engaged over 950 residents! Over 3,000 of these trees were planted through Tree Trooper projects.
Throughout 2023, RePlant Anne Arundel will continue to engage residents in designing and installing tree planting projects.
