About Baltimore Green Map
Mission Statement
Baltimore Green Map uses mapping as a tool to document, promote and advocate for a sustainable city. Through our outreach activities, we encourage the discovery, use
and stewardship of the Baltimore region’s natural,
cultural and green living resources for city residents
and visitors alike. Our maps reflect the
cumulative power of many small actions toward building
a healthy urban environment for
the benefit of all.
Vision
Baltimore Green
Map is the central clearinghouse to connect
Baltimore area residents with sustainability resources and to promote green tourism
opportunities for visitors to the region. We
engage Baltimore with the international Green Mapping
movement, share accomplishments, increase use
of existing resources, and stimulate replication
of successful greening strategies. We celebrate
Baltimore’s
opportunities for choosing daily to make sustainability
a lifestyle choice.
