Since it's green, I hope you don't mind a plug for one of the projects from the organization I work for:

In honor of its 40th anniversary, Greater Homewood Community Corp., of which I am director of development, will strive to plant 40 trees in 40 north central Baltimore neighborhoods, for a total of 1,600 trees. These plantings will take place over the next year, with the help of residents, community groups, schools and businesses. Trees will be planted in city parks, on school grounds, on private property and along neighborhood streets.

If you would like to take part, such as volunteering to organize a tree planting in your park, school or neighborhood, contact Audrey Stevens at 410-261-4927 or astevens@greaterhomewood.org.

You can read more about GHCC and its other 40th anniversary celebration activities on the organization's web site or blog.
