[quote=Anonymous]Maryland actually has a good tree policy and while it seems short sighted to take down these mature trees the water retention policies PP referenced above are much better for the environment than the old rules and better than what Virginia requires from both homeowners AND new builds. The sad thing is that homeowners, once they buy these homes, are putting in trees that aren't adding to the cooling canopy that will help everyone. Flowering trees are great but the oaks, maples, and other significant trees are an investment many aren't making. Montgomery County offers an great FREE tree planting program https://mygreenmontgomery.org/project/plant-a-tree/
We just had 5 trees planted in our yard - and they weren't the 'saplings' you see at Arbor Day events - they were really big trees and they plant and mulch them. We got to pick the tree variety and location. There is a separate program for planting in the right of way that costs something but at a big discount. Do yourself a favor and get these free trees.[/quote]
