Meeting Agenda
- Keynote Speaker, Johns Hopkins, Director, Baltimore Heritage
From Country Estates To Municipal Parks: How Baltimore Created a First Class Public Park System

- Election of Officers and Board Members for 2024-2025
- Concerns and Priorities for 2024-2025
| Join Baltimore Heritage director Johns Hopkins to learn about Baltimore historic parks and how they have shaped our city. William Patterson donated five acres of land in 1827 for Baltimore’s first public park and from there the city has created a first-class network of parks that cover thousands of acres. Family estates that at one time ringed Baltimore City, including the Hopkins, Carroll, Wyman, Rogers, Winans and other estates, were converted into promenades, nature walks, ballfields, and swimming pools. | |

Would you like to become a Tuscany-Canterbury Tree Keeper?
First Meeting June 15
| | | |
Several neighbors have volunteered to be tree keepers. We would still like a few more volunteers. | |
Part of what makes our neighborhood unique is the number of beautiful trees that grace our streets, alleys, and parklands. Unfortunately, not all of our trees are healthy and a few are now beyond saving. The TCNA is working with the city to try and remove those trees that have been tagged as “dead” and to have stumps left behind after the removal of previous dead trees ground up.
Trees, like all living things, need TLC and that’s where volunteer Tree Keepers can make a difference. Kids are also welcome to be Tree Keepers.
There are many things a Tree Keeper can do but most important would be to adopt a block or two in the neighborhood and keep watch over the trees in that area.
- Do the trees need to be pruned?
- Is ivy or other harmful vines choking the trees?
- Are there any new dead trees that need to be removed?
- Are there empty spaces where a new tree should be planted?
- Do new trees need watering?
- Have spotted lanternfly nymphs or mature flies invaded any of the trees?
TCNA will log all reports from our volunteer keepers and will coordinate contacting the appropriate city agencies to complete the necessary work.
If you or your children would like to be a T-C Tree Keeper, please contact us and we will be in touch with you to discuss what duties you are able AND WILLING to do.
