PA Efforts Planting 10M Trees to Help Chesapeake Bay Water Quality

( PA) -- A group that's planting trees to counteract Pennsylvania pollution in the Chesapeake Bay has a goal of planting ten-million new trees in the state. Keystone State News reports that leaders of the Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership plan to distribute 100-thousand trees each spring and fall to reach the goal by 2025. The group says they worked with more than 300 direct partners in distributing about 500-thousand native trees and shrubs in 2023. Trees reduce the amount of polluted runoff, which in turn reduces erosion and flooding and results in cleaner water.
