Questions You Were Too Afraid to Ask / For the fir

Questions You Were Too Afraid to Ask / For the first installment in this new series, in which our team members put our heads together to answer some of your toughest tree-related questions, we decided to start with one we get ALL THE TIME.

A: Established in 2007, #TreeBaltimore is a program operated by the Baltimore City Department of Recreation @recnparks and #BaltimoreForestryDivision. Under the stewardship of Director Charlie Murphy, Tree Baltimore is responsible for coordinating all of the tree planting efforts across the city, whether they be by neighborhood volunteers, other municipal agencies, or nonprofits like the Baltimore Tree Trust.

They're like the GLUE that keeps all of us #TreePlanters together and working in harmony... Then again, they're also like FIRE in the way they're super awesome and help clear the path for everything we accomplish... THEY'RE HOT GLUE. Yes, TreeBalimore is: HOT. GLUE.

We're all aware that introducing non-native specie

We're all aware that introducing non-native species may have negative impacts on the surrounding environment; but, are we aware of how we talk about those species?

What is the impact of our basic terminology and how does our language determine our approach to dealing with invasive species? Crawford beautifully explores these ideas in her article, Why We Should Rethink How We Talk About “Alien” Species, and how this shift in language impacts both human and non-human lifeforms.

If you're ready to get outside and start managing English Ivy check out the #BaltimoreCityWeedWarriors program and our friends at#BlueWaterBaltimore, who are hosting a few upcoming volunteer events!

We CAN'T WAIT for this exciting night of fun and education being presented next Saturday by the Natural History Society of Maryland!

Considered by many to be the father of wildlife ecology and the United States’ wilderness system, ALDO LEOPOLD was a conservationist, forester, philosopher, educator, writer, and outdoor enthusiast. Among his best-known ideas is the “land ethic,” which calls for an ethical, caring relationship between people and nature.

Join PEGGY EPPIG, the Maryland Agricultural Education Foundation, Maryland State Leopold Education Project Coordinator, as we get to know Aldo through his words, A Sand County Almanac, historical interpretation through select parts of GreenFire, a full-length documentary about Leopold’s life, and how his ideals of a Land Ethic were adopted early in several counties of Maryland.
