Tree Rodgers Forge—Keeping our Community Green

Tree Rodgers Forge is a resident-run community organization that is working hard to plant FREE trees in our neighborhood.  The organization’s primary mission is to preserve the tree canopy that is so vital to maintaining our neighborhood’s beauty and quality of life. 

With numerous trees in the area reaching the end of their life cycle, it is important that we do our part to maintain our community’s clean air and picturesque streets.  As such, Tree Rodgers Forge is teaming up with Blue Water Baltimore (BWB) to make it easy for neighbors to plant the free trees provided by BWB in the shared county easement areas (where they exist) in the front of properties. 

Tree Rodgers Forge needs your help to maintain the healthy and attractive neighborhood that Rodgers Forge residents love.  Simply having a tree planted in your yard can increase property value, cool home temperatures in the summer, reduce street noise, clean the air, and filter and absorb rainwater runoff.  In addition to helping you save on your electric bill, these benefits contribute to the overall health of our community, local streams and the Chesapeake Bay.

If you would like to help Tree Rodgers Forge preserve the tree canopy of the neighborhood you know and love, just click the link below and fill out the one-page application and reserve a free sapling to be planted for you this Spring.  Please act ASAP as applications are due by Saturday, April 6th.  Hard copy applications can be dropped off to 228 Overbrook Road or an electronic copy can be emailed to RPCosgrove@gmail.com .  Thank you for your help in preserving the beauty and health of Rodgers Forge!
