OCEAN CITY, Md. — The Town of Ocean City announced a new opportunity for residents to support local environmental efforts through the Every Tree Counts mini-grant program, in a post on their official Facebook page. The initiative is being offered in partnership with the Maryland Coastal Bays Program to encourage the planting of mature trees within town limits.
According to the announcement, Ocean City residents can apply for a $100 voucher to purchase and plant a mature tree chosen from the town’s approved Plant List. The program is designed to increase canopy coverage, promote environmentally responsible landscaping, and support long-term stormwater and habitat health throughout the community.
Town officials noted that the voucher applies only to trees selected from the designated list to ensure that plantings align with Ocean City’s environmental and infrastructure guidelines. The program is available to residential property owners seeking to enhance their properties while contributing to the town’s broader ecological goals. Residents interested in applying for the voucher or reviewing the list of eligible tree species can visit oceancity.green/programs for full program details. Town officials encouraged early participation and emphasized that each tree planted provides long-term benefits to both local neighborhoods and the coastal environment.
