SOLA3 supports trees in Rehoboth Beach
Save Our Lakes Alliance 3 became the 100th donor to the Commemorative Tree Program in Rehoboth Beach with a recent $1,000 contribution.
The Commemorative Tree Fund is a partnership between the City of Rehoboth Beach and its Trees & Green Infrastructure Committee. This unique program was created to celebrate nature as well as art and encourage donations to a tree-planting fund.
Trees are recognized as an essential part of the city’s green infrastructure, where they not only help boost the economy, and enhance community health and safety, but also have a significant impact on the health of Lake Gerar and Silver Lake. Trees are a key component in managing stormwater runoff. They reduce erosion caused by rainfall and storms, and they help create soil conditions that promote infiltration.
To honor the donations, a tree sculpture was created and installed in the city hall atrium.
SOLA3’s contribution is acknowledged with a custom-engraved leaf that reads “SOLA 3, Preserving Our Lakes, sola3.org.”
Founded in 2004, SOLA3 is the only nonprofit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to restoring, protecting and maintaining the three freshwater lakes located in the Rehoboth Beach area - Silver Lake, Lake Comegys and Lake Gerar. For more information, go to sola3.org.
