Reforestation Program – Oyster Creek Greenbelt & Common Areas Initiative

In November 2016, the Parks Committee and the Board of Directors approved a program that allows residents living adjacent to the Oyster Creek Greenbelt and District Common Areas, a mechanism to install new trees in these District green spaces. At the request of the residents living adjacent to these areas and the recreational users of these common areas, the Parks Committee developed a program whereas residents can pay for the purchase and installation of a native tree in a location mutually agreeable to the resident and the District. So far over 50 trees have been planted through this program. Because of the interest in this program, the District is extending it for the Spring 2023 planting.

The purpose of the Reforestation Program is:

To provide individual residents the opportunity to install a tree behind their home
To promote the installation of new native trees along the greenbelt to ensure a native population of varying maturity
To educate the community regarding the positive environmental impacts of reforestation
To preserve property values
To enhance the quality of life for recreational users of the OCG and the Nature Preserve
To maintain or enhance wildlife habitat
To sequester carbon dioxide
