TreeBALTIMORE
Kari
Smith, Community Greening Program Manager, Parks & People
Foundation (Baltimore, MD)
The City of Baltimore has a goal to double the city's tree canopy over
30 years. The public initiative is called TreeBaltimore. The plan for
delivery significantly hinges on the work of Baltimore's nonprofit
community. To that end, Parks & People Foundation, Jones Falls
Watershed Association, and Herring Run Watershed Association have
joined forces to implement TreeBaltimore. Their initiative is called
NeighborWoods.
