A world filled with cement towers and endlessly stretching roads, it is easy to forget that the color green once dominated our country. Sprawling fields and deep, lush forests populated the horizons, filled with little critters and animals numerous in their variety. However, businesses and living spaces for humans have stripped that from them, and now we are scrambling to find a balance in an unsteady planet. Big changes need to be made, but local and state governments can do their part in trying to salvage the green spaces in their gray.
Maryland, known for their beautiful scenery and quiet peace, is a leader in preserving green spaces and extending them. Because of this, they are seeking to extend that streak by implementing a tree planting program in the beautiful city of Hagerstown. Typically known for its abundance of railroad tracks, it is also famous for its rich history and especially its natural beauty, particularly the Hagerstown City Park. The eye catching park alone make the City of Hagerstown worth visiting, but with the implementation of this tree planting program, the city itself will be a place that any visitor, especially nature lovers, will enjoy. The scope of work for this bid entails the maintenance of traffic, erosion and sediment control, furnishing, planting, and more. In addition, contractors will be asked to remove existing sidewalk as required and construct new concrete sidewalks as directed. This implementation and changes are expected to follow the plans set by the City of Hagerstown over a two year period.
Beyond the aesthetic benefits, trees provide clean air and helps increase the quality of air we breathe. For the workforce, it can limit the amounts of headaches, illnesses, and other ailments caused by poor air quality, helping to increase production while simultaneously benefitting the lives of everyday residents in the City of Hagerstown.
