Trees for Sacred Places

IPC is building a community of congregations that are commited to strengthen their connection to the land while improving the health of our shared watershed. Through the planting of native trees and the restoration of green spaces, congregations create living sanctuaries that provide shade, absorb stormwater, improve air quality, and support local wildlife. These sacred landscapes become places of reflection, stewardship, and community engagement, demonstrating a commitment to caring for creation for future generations. This allows faith communities in underserved and urban areas to lower heat around their properties, increase habitats for birds and animals, while living out their values of environmental responsibility and hope.

Advocacy

As people of faith, we understand deeply how Creation is a gift that sustains and nurtures us all both spiritually and physically.  Creation doesn’t have a voice in the halls of power though.  It is up to us to bring that voice to our leaders at the local, state, and national level.  IPC is committed to helping congregations track important legislation that will impact the health of the Chesapeake Watershed and identifying opportunities for our network of faith led individuals to lend their voice to the restoration and protection of Creation.
