The State Highway Administration is planning to make the Eastern Shore greener by planting more than 14,000 trees.
The $211,000 project starts this week and should be finished by next summer.
The agency will plant trees at 25 locations in Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot, Wicomico and Worcester counties. The new trees will take root in medians, along roadsides, at interchanges and in wetlands.
Among the trees that will be planted are pin oaks, red maples, sassafras and tulip poplars.
