Baltimore Tree Trust works to address tree inequality and climate change effects across Baltimore City, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Why Urban Forestry Matters
Urban forests provide vital benefits to Baltimore communities: cleaner air through pollution filtration, cooler neighborhoods that reduce urban heat, improved stormwater management, healthier communities with green spaces, and higher property values. Planting and caring for trees in low-canopy areas fosters a more connected, healthy, and green urban space for all residents.
