IRS990/Desc0The Healthy Forests, Healthy Water initiative is part of a Maryland Department of Natural Resources grant agreement to increase forest cover on private property. Under this program, we managed 5 separate grants for the state in 2025. The Foundation contracts with natural resources consultants and tree planting contractors, to implement tree planting projects on private land in conjunction with Maryland Forest Service staff. These initiatives are intended to deliver quantifiable nutrient & sediment reductions for water quality purposes. The Foundation engages the local volunteer Forestry Boards by providing training and technical assistance that allows them to document the projects' implementation and to monitor their success. In 2025, we paid out $1,642,199 to tree planting and tree maintenance contractors across the state. The remaining expenses include $48,762 for Foundation management and accounting and $2,471 in mileage reimbursements.
