Support wsa and save our trees
Watershed Stewards Academy envisions every community in Anne Arundel County actively engaged to ensure a healthy environment for all.

At WSA, we say “Clean Water Grows on Trees!” Beyond beautifying our landscapes, trees offer many benefits. Tree canopies reduce stormwater runoff by intercepting and holding rainfall. Tree roots hold soil in place, prevent it from washing into our waterways, and promote infiltration. Trees are also an integral part of our ecology, giving food and shelter to native animals such as birds.
Restoring tree canopy is a critical strategy for creating healthy communities. Through WSA’s partnerships with Anne Arundel County, City of Annapolis, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and hundreds of community leaders across Anne Arundel County, WSA plants thousands of new trees each year.
Saving existing canopy trees from destructive invasive vines is vital to ensure local forests are healthy enough to filter water and clean our air.
We are proud to align our work with Save Our Trees to protect and restore local forests. Save Our Trees became an official program under Watershed Stewards Academy on April 24, 2023.
