ABOUT US
  	Alliance for Community
Trees is dedicated to improving the environment where 80% of Americans  
live: our cities, towns, and villages. Together, ACT's national  
network of members have planted and cared for 7.8 million trees with  
help from 450,000 volunteers.	

ABOUT WEBCASTS
The Brown Bag Lunch Series is a monthly webcast held at the lunch  
hour. The goal is to create informal trainings for local urban and  
community forestry organizations. The trainings leverage local  
successes by amplifying to a larger audience the model organizations'  
methods, materials, and approaches.

TreeBALTIMORE
Kari Smith, Community Greening Program Manager, Parks & People  
Foundation (Baltimore, MD)

The City of Baltimore has a goal to double the city's tree canopy over  
30 years. The public initiative is called TreeBaltimore. The plan for  
delivery significantly hinges on the work of Baltimore's nonprofit  
community. To that end, Parks & People Foundation, Jones Falls  
Watershed Association, and Herring Run Watershed Association have  
joined forces to implement TreeBaltimore. Their initiative is called  
NeighborWoods.
