What is GHEP Doing to Protect the Earth? You Too Can Join Us Today.
At the Global Health and Education Projects, we are doing our part. Working with the communities we serve, we are implementing on the ground actions to protect the earth. You can join us.
For example, our Family Tree Adoption Program (FTAP) is a grassroots program that provides free native trees and shrubs to private homeowners in Prince George’s (PG) County, Maryland. The program helps green our communities by increasing tree canopy, which, in turn, improves air and water quality, community aesthetics, and provides benefits for years to come.
Residents from across communities in PG County voluntarily adopt native trees or shrubs of their choice. Residents obtain free support from tree experts to determine the best trees for their yards and then schedule a date for FTAP staff and volunteers to assist them to plant their trees. Upon planting, residents take 100% ownership of these trees/shrubberies forever.
