## Work of Interest to Maryland Green Gardeners

Baltimore TreeKeepers is a resource for Baltimore City gardeners interested in properly planting and maintaining healthy trees on their property and in their local parks.

TreeKeepers certification is free and open to all Baltimore City residents.TreeKeepers includes several levels and types of classes, ranging from educational presentations to hands-on training that teaches citizens to care for their trees and environment. Some of the hands-on training allows citizens to perform work on public trees that requires a permit; these classes will have a “test of competency” to certify citizens in best urban tree care practices. Certified tree planters and pruners will be encouraged to assist Tree Baltimore partners at spring and fall tree planting events. Upcoming lasses are listed on their website.
