Tilt

Saturday was bright and shiny… marking a fantastic annual event in Druid Hill Park, the Baltimore Green Works EcoFest. In its 7th year (I believe), this event proved to be just as great as the last. All sorts of people came out to take part in the event, including the mayor!

We created the Baltimore Green Works website, which launched in March. Check out the site here.

Tilt Foundation came in support of TreeBaltimore, the Mayor’s initiative to increase the Baltimore City tree canopy from 20% to 40% by 2030. This is an important initiative for City residents because we do not have enough public land space to meet the goals of planting over 900,000 trees. On Saturday, part of our efforts were to educate land owners (private mainly) to assist us with our goal by planting trees on their property and to become ambassadors to the program, spreading the word.

As many of you know, last year we focused on these same efforts as we created Baltimore: The Urban Forest Project. TreeBaltimore is a very near and dear initiative to Tilt and we hope that you continue to support their efforts: Give money, give time, plant trees, spread the word!
