Welcome to Smart, Green & Growing

Welcome to Smart, Green & Growing, where Marylanders are coming together to restore the Chesapeake Bay, preserve our land, revitalize our communities, create green jobs, improve transit, conserve energy and address climate change.

Today, our interactive GreenPrint and AgPrint maps are helping guide protection of our most important landscapes. BayStat is allowing the public to track our Bay restoration progress.  Citizens are using $25 coupons to purchase and plant new trees, contributing to a statewide goal. This fall waterfront residents in a dozen tributaries will be growing oysters for planting in local sanctuaries. And Maryland’s Partnership for Children in Nature is working to make sure all kids are able to connect with nature and learn about our environment.

I hope you will visit this site often to learn how your State Government is working to achieve our shared goals for a smarter, greener Maryland, and to explore new ways you can help.  Working together we can create a stronger economy and a greener future for all Maryland families.

Martin O’Malley
Governor
