14 Towson Neighborhoods Targeted For Tree-Planting Project

TOWSON, MD — A tree-planting effort is planned in the Towson area, and it will take root in the coming months.

Across Towson, organizers say 14 neighborhoods are targeted for the planting, including Anneslie, East Towson, Gaywood, Glendale, Harford Park, Idleywylde, Knollwood, Lutherville, Rodgers Forge, Stoneleigh, Southland Hills, Sudbrook, West Towson and Wiltondale.

Blue Water Baltimore — which is spearheading the planting effort — will be reaching out to the community, training members and providing trees this month and next month.

Residents can request trees now. Here is where to order a tree.

Those who would like to help should look for volunteer opportunities on the Blue Water Website in August for October plantings.

The tree planting effort is funded through a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant to increase tree canopy through several projects, organizers said.
