Tree Planting

Note: The Street Tree Inventory Form is for neighborhood groups who would like to create a master list of all empty tree pits, pits with stumps, pits with dead trees, pits that should be enlarged to our new 4’ x 8’ minimum standard. They can also identify locations where new pits can be opened. Once the form is completed it should be returned to TreeBaltimore so that a Forestry inspector can visit the sites. After the visit, the neighbors and TreeBaltimore work on a tree plan for the community.
