The employees planted more than 500 trees and shrubs on 3 acres of farmland, creating a riparian buffer that will increase water quality and reduce pollution in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, which encompasses six states and 64,000 square miles, and is home to more than 18 million people and 3,000 species of plants and animals, according to the release.

The bank’s project was part of the Keystone 10 Million Trees Partnership, which is more than halfway to its goal of planting 10 million trees across Pennsylvania by 2025, according to the release. Working with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the partnership strives to create clean water, reduce erosion, and stabilize the environment by planting trees within 300 feet of streams and waterways in Pennsylvania’s portion of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The trees filter nutrients, sequester carbon, provide habitats, and make oxygen.

The planting marked the bank’s annual observance of Banktoberfest, an event that since its inception in 2016 has emphasized team building and exceeding expectations, according to the release. F&M Trust employees participate in a service project that contributes to the health, safety, and well-being of the communities the bank serves and those who live there.
