We will install native trees and shrubs in an area of 4950 square feet located between the St. Andrew by the Bay upper parking lot and Broadneck Park.
There are currently some black locust trees and lots of invasive plants in this area. Replacing the invasive plants with native trees and shrubs will reduce stormwater runoff, protect existing trees, provide habitat for native wildlife, and beautify the landscape.
Remove Vines and Other Invasive Plants
The first step will be to remove the invasive plants, including English ivy, oriental bittersweet, honeysuckle, mile-a-minute, and multiflora rose in the area we plan to restore. The invasive vines that are growing up many of the trees can smother and weaken the trees, and eventually cause branches to break off.

Create a Space for Learning, Praying, and Enjoying Nature
A gathering space and nature / meditation trail will be part of the project, making it a space that can be used by the parish. It will also provide a focus for educating parishioners about the impacts of plants on the environment, how to choose and grow native plants, how to identify and remove invasives, and caring for nature as an expression of faith. The parish Creation Care Team has worked with the parish preschool, religious education program, and youth ministry on activities related to the environment and can incorporate the restoration into future activities.
