Annual Master Watershed Steward Fundraiser
Penn State Extension’s Master Watershed Steward program will hold its seventh annual native tree and shrub sale this fall with 25 pickup locations across the state. Funds from the sale will support regional Master Watershed Steward volunteer activities, including stream repair projects, tree plantings and youth education programs.
This year’s fundraiser features one native woody vine species and 23 native tree and shrub varieties, including the highly requested pawpaw and persimmon. Master Watershed Stewards will accept orders through Aug. 25 or until supplies run out, with curbside pickup available in September or October. Pickup dates and times vary by location.
Native plants offer a variety of benefits to communities, including environmental, social and even economic benefits, program leaders noted. Native trees, shrubs and other plants improve air and water quality, reduce stormwater runoff and pollution, and enrich and enhance property and enjoyment. Master Watershed Stewards plant trees to intercept and infiltrate stormwater, stabilize soils, and filter pollutants. Whether residents seek trees for privacy, foliage, shade, pollinator attraction or a beautiful landscape, the sale organizers noted that the program offers a variety of trees and shrubs to meet a wide range of needs.
