Sacred Grounds – Caring for Creation
Sacred Grounds – Caring for Creation
For the past three years, CCC has partnered with the National Wildlife Federation, to plant native plants in our yards as a way to stem run off and pollution into the Sligo Creek Watershed. Once again, we are participating and will be distributing free Native Plants to those who pledge to plant them. Our faith calls us to nurture creation. Our local waterways are part of that—it is where we play and a source of sustenance for birds, frogs, fish, and butterflies. Our actions can protect other people downstream from pollution and flooding.
,Make a pledge today to plant natives in your yard, and we’ll provide you with the information you need to put our faith values into practice. By pledging, you’ll get a free starter kit of native plants that you can pickup on Sunday, April 30th (at CCC’s Earth Day Festival) to plant at home!
We’re aiming to recruit 100 homes—will you be one of them?
YOU CAN STILL PLEDGE!

SAVE THE WORLD (AND IT’S FREE)
One of the simplest actions we can take to improve our Earth is to plant trees. Luckily, Montgomery County has made this easy, free, and work free on our part. The county has two programs to plant free trees on your property. They are separate programs that seek to beautify our neighborhoods, reduce energy costs by providing shade, and soak up carbon dioxide from our environment.
The county will plant street trees that are maintained by the county. The county monitors the trees and if they do not survive the planting, they are replaced at no cost or effort from you. You can request one at the following link:
MCDOT – Trees https://www.
montgomerycountymd.gov
If you have backyard space for a larger shade tree, you can also request a tree at: https://treemontgomery.
