## Work of Interest to Maryland Green Gardeners

Tree Baltimore, through its governmental and non-profit partnerships, works to educate the public on the benefits of trees and helps secure and plant trees for Baltimore City residents on their property and in their neighborhoods. Tree Baltimore holds free tree giveaways for Baltimore City residents throughout the year, with their largest event, the Fruit Tree Fair, held every spring. They provide request forms on their website to receive a free (or discounted) yard tree or free street tree.

Tree Baltimore administers two citizen stewardship certification programs: Baltimore Tree Keepers and Baltimore Weed Warriors.

Each certification program is free to Baltimore City residents, and together they are excellent resources for Maryland gardeners looking to maintain healthy trees and control invasive plants in their yard/public parks.

Tree Baltimore also began and oversees the Camp Small Zero Waste Initiative, which processes and distributes to Baltimore City residents (for reasonable fees available on their website) logs, chips, and brush brought to their location by city crews and contractors.
