Mission
The Tree Stewards Committee works to restore, enhance, and protect the tree canopy in Federal Hill South by partnering with the City of Baltimore and nonprofit organizations to plant new trees, to care for existing foliage, and to educate residents about the environmental, economic, and health benefits of tree cover.
Activities
In the past two years, the Tree Stewards Committee and its volunteers have helped plant 20 new trees throughout the Federal Hill South neighborhood. Tree Stewards volunteers also care for existing trees by regularly weeding, mulching, and pruning. In addition, the committee has completed a survey of all trees in the neighborhood to compile a comprehensive database
