Join us as Karyn Molines, the Division Chief for Calvert County Natural Resources, introduces the native trees of Maryland and offers strategies for selecting and placing a tree in your yard at home.
Maryland's native trees come in an amazing array of sizes and shapes. They can provide beauty and boost the environmental health of your home landscape, no matter how large or small the space. Learn more about their many benefits, from supporting nesting birds and beneficial insects to improving air and water quality. The talk will conclude with a walk around the Library's "Front Yard" for an up-close look at the native trees that are the focal points of our native plant garden.
Ms. Molines has focused her career on being a naturalist and educator, overseeing environmental education programs, field trips and workshops for the public, families, adults, school children, and teachers. She is a founding member of the Maryland Native Plant Society, and assists with their annual fall conference, web site management, and membership chair.
