The Baltimore Tree Trust team picked the Blackgum for Baltimore’s Official City Tree!

Native to Maryland, the Blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica) is known for its brilliant red fall color, supports native bees and pollinators, and provides food for songbirds and other wildlife.

Beautiful, resilient, and beneficial to local ecosystems—what’s not to love?

Last Wednesday, 19 volunteers from the Zirking and Schmerling Law firm joined us in Baltimore’s Graceland Park neighborhood to plant 30 new trees! 🌳

Their hard work is helping grow a healthier, greener community while expanding Baltimore’s urban canopy one tree at a time. From digging and mulching to watering and staking, this team showed up ready to make a lasting impact.

Thank you to Zirkin and Schmerling for investing in Baltimore’s neighborhoods and environment through service. We’re grateful for your partnership and dedication to creating greener spaces for residents today and for future generations.

Last week, two of our Neighborhood Forestry Technicians completed the Tree Climbing Academy in Druid Hill Park in partnership with Bartlett Tree Experts and Baltimore Recnparks. A total of 20 participants participated from The 6th Branch, Baltimore City Recreation and Parks, and Bartlett Tree Experts.

Through hands-on training, our foresters learned tree-climbing safety, rope setting and knot-tying techniques, the use of climbing equipment, and industry best practices. From climbing vertically to confidently navigating tree canopies, this experience helped strengthen the skills needed to safely care for Baltimore’s urban forest.

This opportunity is part of our workforce development program, which provides our foresters with exposure to different career pathways in forestry, opportunities to network with industry professionals, and experiences that build new skills.
