Over 150 volunteers helped plant 2,075 trees in a field cleared of invasive species
Caroline Dowd, center, delivers a lesson in how to plant a tree to Tatyana Favors, left, and her mother Gail Favors, from Bear, Del., during a planting at Blackbird State Forest in Delaware. The Favors attended in part because they want to host their own planting for a foundation set up to support Tatyana’s fight with brain cancer. ((Photos by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program))
