All bundles allocated for Worcester County for 2022 have been reserved. If you wish to be added to the email list for next year – and receive notification of the program earlier, please email [email protected].
Annually, the Berlin Parks Commission works with the Maryland Forest Service to give away Backyard Buffer tree bundles to Worcester County residents. Backyard Buffer bundles provide habitat for birds and other wildlife, food for bees, butterflies and more, along with erosion control and nutrient removal, while beautifying and naturalizing the landscape around us.
Twenty seedlings will be included in each bundle – varieties vary from year to year. Bundles are available to Worcester County property owners, especially those on or near streams or other waterways. You DO NOT need to be a Berlin resident to receive trees, but bundle quantities are limited.
