The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is asking Marylanders to support the Maryland Park Service (MPS) by planting virtual trees. This is a unique opportunity for Marylanders to show state pride and support an exciting effort that will help increase tree cover in State Parks.
Through the Plant A Tree program, Odwalla will donate $1 to MPS each time citizens vote to plant virtual trees in Maryland. Each person who visits the Odwalla site can now plant up to five virtual trees. Maryland has been competing since May 26 for votes and is currently in fourth place nationally with more than 7,100 virtual trees planted.
“This program continues to be a great opportunity for our State to earn money and raise awareness about the importance of trees,” said MPS Superintendent Nita Settina. “Now that people can vote up to five times per email address, it gives Marylanders the chance to raise even more money to plant real trees in their State Parks. Trees provide cool shade, create wildlife habitat, clean the air and improve the water quality of streams, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.”
