The Ecological Society of America\u2019s\u00a02025\u00a0annual meeting<\/a> will bring\u00a0ecology\u00a0enthusiasts from across the world to downtown Baltimore.\u00a0This year, they are partnering\u00a0with\u00a0Baltimore Green Space (BGS),<\/a>\u00a0Baltimore\u2019s only environmental land trust that promotes vibrant neighborhoods and a healthy environment through land preservation, research, and\u00a0community advocacy<\/a>. BGS will receive\u00a0$5\u00a0for each\u00a0meeting\u00a0registrant\u00a0as an environmental offset donation,\u00a0amounting to over $11,000 this year. Those funds will go towards providing green space access to the thousands of community gardeners and forest leaders who\u00a0come together every year to care for the land, learn about bird banding, tree identification, safe vine removal practices, stormwater management, and more! All\u00a0BGS\u00a0programming is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baltimore City has over 800 community-managed green spaces and 2,000 forest patches that are vulnerable to development. Currently,\u00a0Baltimore Green Space protects<\/a>\u00a021 of those spaces: 7 food gardens, 8 pocket parks, 2 farms, 2 forests, 1 horseshoe pit and an urban wildlife refuge at Masonville Cove. We also work with 10-15 forest patches as part of the Forest Stewardship Network each\u00a0season. As a land trust with over 62 acres of green space and a small but mighty crew, your support goes a long way. Every dollar raised will support BGS in increasing land security for neighbors caring for green spaces while advocating for protected green spaces and being an innovator in urban forest care and environmental research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about BGS, go to their website at\u00a0baltimoregreenspace.org<\/a>, and follow them on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
