Statement of Purpose

Discover. Enjoy. Learn. Take action!
The Baltimore Green Map Project was initiated to provide geographically-linked information about local resources and to map progress toward creating a healthier, more sustainable environment in Baltimore City. Its goals include consciousness-raising and constituency-building for environmental stewardship activities and political advocacy. The more people value and use the existing environmentally-oriented educational, recreational, economic, social, cultural, and civic resources, the more they will grow and prosper.

Baltimore, Maryland is a city of 640,000 people. Its' four urban watersheds are all feeders to the larger ecology of the Chesapeake Bay. Restoring the health of the Bay is a hot regional topic. Eventually we hope to map all four watersheds.

Our first project is a map of Druid Hill Park, our largest urban park (50 listings within the park itself!) This will become an inset in the Jones Falls Trail Green Map which takes in the entire Baltimore City portion of the watershed. The centerpiece is the Trail, partly built, partly still under construction. We hope to help the trail be successful as a commuter and recreational path as we illustrate the many resources that can be accessed by using it. These maps are being created in partnership with the Jones Falls Watershed Association and the Baltimore City Department of Recreation & Parks.
