Stream Link Education

Stream Link Education organizes and leads tree plantings with local community members, organizations and businesses. With the help of volunteers, we plant native trees and shrubs in the area called the riparian zone, which is the land that extends from the banks of a stream. Planting trees next to streams creates a Forest Buffer that not only removes carbon out of the air like other forests, but it soaks up stormwater, chemicals, excess nutrients, sediments, and more before they enter into our streams, rivers, and ultimately end up in the Chesapeake Bay.
