I planted an oak day!

Fifteen bur oak seedlings were planted by six families at Queensbury Farm on May 24th as part of TLC's first annual "I planted an oak day". The day was an opportunity for local residents to have a hand in restoring oaks to the county's landscape.

One tree at a time, one acre at a time, one property at a time. 'Til one day, the County will be known as the place where oaks thrive!

The day was part of TLC's Project Quercus program to save, restore and replant the county's oak woodland resources.

Last year, the owner of Queensbury Farm placed a conservation easement on her entire 58 acres of land on Queen Anne Road. The Farm is like a blank slate that will be restored to wetland, prairie and savanna in the coming years.

The event raised about $150 for TLC's Third Generation Oak Fund.
