Meet our crew!. Mornin, fam! 😎Today, we want you to meet our Materials Handler, Allen “Mooky” George!🌳

Mooky began working with us here at the Baltimore Tree Trust as an entry-level Community Forester back in the fall of 2019 and today he oversees the logistical operations of transporting the THOUSANDS of trees we plant around the city each season!

If you don’t already know, along with our mission of creating a sustainable and healthier environment, the Baltimore Tree Trust is investing in the next generation of the green movement. Our Community Foresters initiative seeks to connect city residents with living wage jobs and the training needed to excel in this industry, while creating a positive local impact. Alongside our partners @arbordayfoundation @treebaltimore @americanforests @marylanddnr , we are committed to diversifying the environmental movement and providing access to a healthier city for all Baltimoreans!

Know someone looking for a job? We are about to begin hiring for additional Community Foresters to join our team! Look out for an official announcement in the coming weeks with information on how to apply.

With six code red days declared this season, Baltimore's summer heat is on the rise. Did you know that some areas within the city can register temperatures much higher than those in surrounding neighborhoods? Baltimore Tree Trust is working hard to reduce the impact of Urban Heat Islands by increasing the city's tree canopy and permeable green spaces. Read more about Urban Heat Islands and the direct impact trees can have on city temperatures in the articles linked in our description!

Last week our dedicated BTT crew joined @bluewaterbmore and @corpsthat volunteers for some summer maintenance to newly planted trees along the Route 40 median. Together we worked to weed, mulch, and water almost 500 young trees, helping to prepare them for the hot, humid weather ahead! Thank you Blue Water Baltimore for putting this mulch fest together!
