American Chestnut Land Trust met with local community groups to establish a living conservation legacy. ACLT is responsible for a significant number of acres and seeks community help. A suggestion is the development of a “natural chapel” somewhere in the woods. Future meetings will develop further plans. What can congregations do to assist? Contact American Chestnut Land Trust and/or visit www. Acltweb.org.

TRUST formerly the Southern Maryland Action Coalition, seeks ways to address SYSTEMIC issues, rather than SYMPTOMATIC ones. Focus is on Education (which led to Closing the Gap Coalition), Housing (HOME Act) and Transportation. Current emphasis is on fostering relationships, such as the Diversity Workshop. https://www.facebook.com/TRUSTSoMD
