Save Our Forests in Maryland
Maryland is losing forests to development daily, but forests serve an important role in our ecosystem, and we cannot afford to lose them.
Forests have more value than just how their proximity increases property values. They're not just nice to look at; we cannot afford to chop down and fragment our remaining forests in an endless pursuit of new development.

So far in the 100th state legislature, positive steps in that direction have been few and far between.
