Catonsville Presbyterian Church Tackles Woodlands

“As an Earth Care Congregation, the Catonsville Presbyterian Church has been undertaking a multi-phase effort to improve the church property. The church is entering the fourth year of certification as an Earth Care Congregation, a designation earned through application to the national office, Presbyterian Church (USA) with a range of programs and projects in the areas of worship, education, and building/grounds. As part of this program, the church’s Creation Care Team schedules projects and activities throughout the year, with a focus on environmental hands-on projects from spring through fall.

Last year, a major set of projects were implemented to begin the restoration of a long-neglected area of church property. This area includes woodland, with open grasses areas. These projects were initially planned to work on one section of woodlands that had a particularly serious infestation of invasive plants such as ailanthus and ground vines.”
