FOCUS EVENT
Baltimore Launches NeighborWoods Campaign
This month, Baltimore community groups are banding together to celebrate NeighborWoods Month by planting hundreds of trees in support of the TreeBaltimore initiative. Jones Falls Watershed Association, Herring Run Watershed Association, and the Parks & People Foundation are kicking things off this weekend and will attract 200 volunteers to plant and care for 100-150 trees in the Better Waverly community at City College and at Johns Hopkins Eastern Campus. The groups will continue the momentum to plant trees at muliple sites throughout the October, and will celebrate volunteers' accomplishments at a community Greening Celebration on October 17. Way to go Charm City!
