Trees provide so many benefits to people, animals and of course our Rivers. They cool the summer air of our towns, soak up rainwater that might otherwise flood our streets, provide food and shelter for songbirds, capture pollution from the air and return the oxygen that we breathe. The value of a tree is immeasurable!  

ShoreRivers provides no-cost street trees, provided that they are planted in a location that benefits the community: in your front yard, along a sidewalk, in a park or community open space.

Years of scientific monitoring show that most of the pollution in our waters come from within our watershed. Poorly managed farms, failing septic systems, and yard fertilizer all contribute to poor water quality.

• reduce or eliminate fertilizer and pesticide use

• clean-up pet waste

• install rain gardens and bioretention areas

• reduce lawn area by planting native trees and shrubs
