Who We Are
Transforming Communities Through Trees
Baltimore Tree Trust brings together diverse leaders, skilled workers, and community members to grow Baltimore’s tree canopy. We believe every neighborhood deserves clean air and cool green spaces
Our Story
What started as grassroots planting in East Baltimore has evolved into the city’s leading tree organization. Today, we have 20 neighborhood foresters and plant over 3,000 trees annually across Baltimore’s neighborhoods.
Our Impact
Since 2008, we’ve planted over 21,000 trees in 193 neighborhoods throughout the city. Our trees provide millions of square feet of shade, reduce stormwater runoff, remove carbon from the air, and lower electricity costs.
Our Team
Our experienced team leads tree planting, community engagement, and workforce development. Community and business leaders on our board guide our progress. Together, we’re growing a greener Baltimore.
