TreeBaltimore is a mayoral initiative spearheaded by the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks. This program strives to increase the urban tree canopy through the establishment, management and preservation of trees.
TreeBaltimore’s goals will be accomplished through a combination of activities:
- tree planting
- care of existing trees
- natural regeneration of our forests and
- fostering a sense of stewardship
The TreeBaltimore campaign is a ‘call to action’ to residents to plant a tree. By planting and caring for a tree at your home, business or park, you are helping to clean our air and water. Trees also help reduce summer air temperatures, save energy, buffer noise and increase the economic stability of Baltimore.
