There are currently some black locust trees and lots of invasive plants in this area. Replacing the invasive plants with native trees and shrubs will reduce stormwater runoff, protect existing trees, provide habitat for native wildlife, and beautify the landscape.

Remove Vines and Other Invasive Plants

The first step will be to remove the invasive plants, including English ivy, oriental bittersweet, honeysuckle, mile-a-minute, and multiflora rose in the area we plan to restore. The invasive vines that are growing up many of the trees can smother and weaken the trees, and eventually cause branches to break off.

Plant Trees

After removing the invasive plants, we will plant native canopy and understory trees obtained through Replant Anne Arundel with co-payments donated by St. Andrew by the Bay parishioners.

Larger Canopy Trees

We will plant Acer rubrum (Red maple), Quercus rubra (Northern red oak), Juniperus virginiana (Eastern red cedar), Diospyros virginiana (Persimmon), and Nyssa sylvatica (Black Gum).

Smaller Understory Trees

We will plant Cornus florida (Flowering Dogwood), Hamamelis virginiana (American Witch-Hazel), and Magnolia virginiana (Sweetbay Magnolia).

Plant Shrubs

We will also plant smaller native shrubs paid for with funding from Unity Gardens. We will plant Ceanothus americanus (New Jersey Tea), Cephalanthus occidentalis (Buttonbush), Clethra alnifolia (Sweet pepperbush), Hypericum densiflorum (St John’s Wort), Itea virginica (Tassel-white, Virginia sweetspire), Morella pensylvanica (Northern Bayberry), Aronia (Photinia) melanocarpa (Black chokeberry), and Viburnum dentatum (Southern arrowwood).

Flowers

In addition to adding beauty and fragrance to the landscape, flowers provide food for pollinators.

Fruits and Berries

Fruits and berries of native shrubs provide food for a variety of native wildlife.

Create a Space for Learning, Praying, and Enjoying Nature

A gathering space and nature / meditation trail will be part of the project, making it a space that can be used by the parish. It will also provide a focus for educating parishioners about the impacts of plants on the environment, how to choose and grow native plants, how to identify and remove invasives, and caring for nature as an expression of faith. The parish Creation Care Team has worked with the parish preschool, religious education program, and youth ministry on activities related to the environment and can incorporate the restoration into future activities.

To see it unspool — to watch the jumbled images ricochet, live, across the world's endless screens — was, as an American, a struggle to believe your eyes. But there it was, in the capital city of the United States in early January 2021: a real-time breaking and entering the likes of which the republic has never seen.

The U.S. Capitol was overrun by violent supporters of Donald Trump, who exhorted them to march on the domed building as lawmakers inside carried out their constitutional duty by certifying his electoral defeat. The proceedings were quickly abandoned as the selfie-snapping mob smashed windows, marched through hallways and rummaged through lawmakers’ desks.

Fourteen days before Joe Biden is set to be inaugurated on the very same site, elected officials sheltered in place in their own building. Agents barricaded themselves inside congressional chambers, guns drawn. The stars and stripes — soaring over public property — was lowered, then replaced as a blue Trump flag ascended.

In one of the day's most indelible images, a hoodie-clad trespasser sat in a chair overlooking the Senate floor — minutes after it had been vacated by Trump's own vice president, Mike Pence — waving his fist in front of a thick, ornate curtain designed to summon the trappings of democracy.

This was not “the peaceful transfer of power” so lionized by the American tradition. Not even remotely. “This,” Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania said, 'is an absolute disgrace.'

The United States on Wednesday seemed at risk of becoming the very kind of country it has so often insisted it was helping: a fragile democracy.

“This is not dissent,” Biden said in a televised address. “It’s disorder. It’s chaos.”

Part of the point of building magnificent structures like the Capitol in the first place was to erect actual physical representations of an abstract system of government — deliberate, solid edifices as immutable and inviolable as their people hope the democracy itself will be. “This temple to democracy” was what Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, called the Capitol building after things calmed down.

So to see wooden furniture used as a barricade to keep American rioters out of an American congressional chamber, to watch Americans shattering American windows gazed through by who knows which American luminaries across the decades — that somehow spoke of something more, something deeper.

'They tried to disrupt our democracy. They failed,' Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, said when the body reconvened Wednesday night after the Capitol was cleared.

No matter what side you’re on, the day’s events underscored that the functioning monuments of a nation of laws — and even the very site where those laws come into being — could be upended by a group of its own people if they were angry enough and determined enough.

“I’m very disappointed, to be honest with you. What a shame,” said Michael Hobson, 61, a lifelong Republican in Virginia Beach, Virginia who voted for Trump but has been discouraged by how he has behaved “like a sore loser.”

“He’s not acting presidential,” Hobson said. “The Republican party has been tarnished. Somebody needs to step up to the plate. We need to find a good strong leader to change the vision.”

Trump continued to foment divisions Wednesday, both in tweets — until his Twitter account was locked in the evening, for the first time — and in a fleeting message recorded from the White House, less than two miles from the Capitol. In the video, recorded as the chaos continued to unfold, he said a number of things, many of them inaccurate. At least one, though, was utterly true and hard to challenge: “There's never been a time like this.”

But is this truly an inflection point, or simply another escalation — one in a series that has unfolded so gradually in recent years that the unimaginable of 2015 has become the merely repetitive in 2021? Is this the final gasp of something linked to the current administration, or the emergence of something that will become a dominant strand in the national DNA for decades?

“It seems like a different country, in one of those places where coups happen,” said Bev Jackson, chair of the Democratic Party’s Cobb County African American caucus in Georgia, where two Democrats won U.S. Senate seats in runoff elections Tuesday.

“I think people have feared a moment like this might be coming,' Jackson said. 'It’s really sad and it’s really tragic but I think people have been bracing themselves for this.”

All over American television and on social networks were different permutations of the same statement: This isn’t what America is. But what if it is? Indeed, many Americans who watched it all had similar how-could-this-happen-here reactions, echoed by newscasters and interviewees who used phrases like “banana republic” and the more unfortunate “like a third-world nation.”

It raises the question: What on Earth does this look like abroad, where the United States has long positioned itself as a fixer of such things?

“I feel like I’m watching an American film,' said Laurie Pezeron, the founder of a Black literature book club who lives in the suburbs of Paris. “I just hope it doesn’t end up with a civil war.”

Which brings us back to the Senate, shortly before it was infiltrated by intruders. Debating the objection to Arizona's balloting, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, an early 2020 candidate for president, had cited Benjamin Franklin’s renowned (and probably actually uttered) words: “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Barely an hour later, chaos had the floor.
