Shapiro Administration Invests $130,000 to Plant 700 Trees Along York County Stream to Improve Local Water Quality and the Chesapeake Bay

The Shapiro Administration help plant 700 trees along Orson Run - a $130,000 investment to reduce runoff, improve local water quality, and protect the Chesapeake Bay.

Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn joined Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay CEO Kate Fritz and local stakeholders to help plant trees along a dairy farm in the Muddy Creek watershed - a key tributary of the Susquehanna River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay.

"Every tree we plant is a step toward cleaner water, healthier farms, and a better future for our children," said Secretary Dunn. "These streamside forests protect our waterways, support wildlife, and give farmers a new tool to care for their land. It's inspiring to see so many partners come together to make a lasting difference for this farm, the Susquehanna River, and the Chesapeake Bay."

Speakers Include:
State Forester Seth Cassell
Alliance for Chesapeake Bay CEO Kate Fritz
DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn
Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay Senior Forests Projects Manager Ryan Davis
