There is, however, a way to bring the trees back to Baltimore. Homeowners can request that a new tree be planted in an existing vacant or abandoned tree pit. A signed request to the Baltimore City Forestry Division by the homeowner most affected will trigger an initial site inspection and can then lead to the planting of a replacement tree. The rules state that the request MUST come from the homeowner whose house is directly, behind the tree pit. There is no cost to the homeowner.
Plantings occur twice a year, in the Spring and Fall.
