These urban woodlands were ecologically degraded, with dead ash trees that had succumbed to emerald ash borer and invasive vines that choked the native trees. After cleaning up the site and removing invasive species, Northern Research Station scientists worked with area residents and church members to plant native trees like oaks, elms, willows, and poplars. Our objectives are to continue the restoration of individuals, our Southwest Baltimore community, the city of Baltimore, and our forest. This summer and fall, we will continue the education of local youth and adults in environmental stewardship by providing community outreach and nature-based educational programming for youth and adults and performing routine forest maintenance on the Stillmeadow campus and tending to the beautification of the land, in order for it to become an urban oasis where people experience spiritual, mental, and physical restoration. The research plots and trails have been maintained. In 2023, Stillmeadow hosted 367 volunteers, who logged 3,402.3 volunteer hours. In addition to the volunteers, maintenance of the forest was performed by 2 interns as part of our Canopy Crew internship program, as well as a Forest Technician. Our childrens programs include Stillmeadow PeacePark Learning Center, our nature-based after school program, the Baltimore Forest School, our Saturday youth nature program, and Beyond the Natural Foundation, our music and nature therapy summer camp program. Students also participated in forest stewardship by removing trash from the trails and stream and mulching trails. In 2023, 94 students, ranging from ages 2-21 representing 17 Baltimore City and Baltimore County schools participated in these stewardship activities.
