Baltimore Tree Trust

Congratulations to seven of our Neighborhood Forestry Technicians and our Forestry Director for completing a three-day training with the National Saw Academy!

Thanks to funding from the Chesapeake Bay Trust, our team earned National Saw Academy Sawyer Certification-A, gaining valuable skills in mature tree care and safe chainsaw operation.

This training strengthens our ability to maintain our nursery, care for trees throughout their life cycle, and expand career pathways for our Neighborhood Foresters by exposing them to opportunities in mature-tree care. These investments help grow the next generation of urban forestry professionals!

We’re excited to join the upcoming x Summer Eco-Market on Saturday, June 14, from 11 AM–3 PM at Whitehall Mill! 🌿☀️

Baltimore Tree Trust will be tabling at the event and giving away free trees from our nursery while supplies last. Stop by to meet our team, learn about our work across Baltimore neighborhoods, and take home a tree to help grow a greener city.

The Eco-Market will feature 50 local artists and small businesses, environmental organizations, local food vendors, fresh produce, music, family-friendly activities, and more. We’re thrilled to join fellow community partners, , Parks & People, .naturecenter, and No Name Plant Collective.

Come shop local, connect with environmental organizations, and celebrate Baltimore’s creative and green communities all in one place. Bring your family and friends — we hope to see you there!

As we wrap up our Spring 2026 planting season, we're proud to share that together we planted 1,053 trees across Baltimore City!

These trees will provide cleaner air, cooler neighborhoods, stormwater management, wildlife habitat, and healthier communities for generations to come. Every tree planted today is an investment in a greener, more resilient Baltimore tomorrow.

This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support of our volunteers, community partners, residents, funders, and supporters who joined us every step of the way.

Whether you planted a tree, watered a young sapling, sponsored our work, or helped spread the word—thank you. Your commitment is helping grow Baltimore's urban forest and creating lasting environmental and community impact.

Here's to 1,053 new reasons to celebrate and many more trees to come! 💚

The Baltimore Tree Trust team picked the Blackgum for Baltimore’s Official City Tree!

Native to Maryland, the Blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica) is known for its brilliant red fall color, supports native bees and pollinators, and provides food for songbirds and other wildlife.

Beautiful, resilient, and beneficial to local ecosystems—what’s not to love?
