TreeBaltimore is a part of the Mayor’s Greener Baltimore initiative that seeks to double Baltimore’s tree canopy from 20 percent to 40 percent within 30 years. With this initiative, Baltimore joins the ranks of cities across the country that are aggressively working toward building a sustainable urban forest.
Make a Difference, Plant a Tree and Save $10 through the Growing Home Campaign
The Growing Home Campaign is an innovative way that homeowners can help increase the tree canopy in our region. As part of Baltimore County's Green Renaissance and Baltimore City's TreeBaltimore Initiative, the Growing Home Campaign is a partnership between Baltimore County, Baltimore City, local retail nurseries and garden centers, and homeowners to encourage planting trees on private residential land.
The Growing Home program offers homeowners a $10 savings on qualifying trees to plant in their yards. Download the Growing Home $10 Tree Coupon and learn more about the many benefits of adding a tree to your yard including increased property value, energy savings, and beautification of our communities. Also included is information about tree planting and maintenance and a useful list of tree species and their growth characteristics.

In some cases both coupons may be used at a nursery for a combined $35 off the price of a tree
Tree Benefit Calculator
The Tree Benefit Calculator allows anyone to make a simple estimation of the benefits individual street-side trees provide. This tool is based on i-Tree’s street tree assessment tool called STRATUM. With inputs of location, species and tree size, users will get an understanding of the environmental and economic value trees provide on an annual basis. Click the link below.
