The Chesapeake Bay Trust has granted the city of Rockville $181,720 to support the planting of over 950 trees in RedGate Park, a crucial step in the city's ongoing reforestation efforts. This funding marks the second consecutive year that Rockville has received financial assistance for environmental initiatives, showcasing a strong commitment to improving local ecosystems. In the spring, nearly 1,500 trees and shrubs were planted in the same area, demonstrating the city’s proactive approach to enhancing biodiversity and community green spaces. The project aims not only to beautify the park but also to contribute to the ecological health of the region. Residents are encouraged to engage with the reforestation efforts, as the trees will provide shade, habitat for wildlife, and improve air quality.

The Chesapeake Bay Trust's continued support emphasizes the importance of local environmental stewardship. As these trees begin to grow, they will play a vital role in fostering a sustainable community. The initiative reflects a broader trend of cities investing in green infrastructure to combat climate change and promote environmental awareness.
