WEEK 2
200+ Volunteers to Revitalize Baltimore Park
NeighborWoods Month rolls on! This week, 37 organizations will organize 61 events in 34 cities around the country. Week Two of NeighborWoods Month is headlined by Parks and People's Druid Hill Tree Planting, a massive effort to engage local universities, city officials, and more than 200 volunteers to reclaim this park and learn what it means to be a tree steward. This event is just one of 394 events this month. Register your event today or volunteer with one near you... there is at least one event every day!
