On Saturday, May 4, Baltimore Green Space, an organization started by 2007 OSI Community Fellow Miriam Avins, will host an event to celebrate Baltimore City’s first community-preserved urban forest, Fairwood Forest.
In 2018, Baltimore Green Space joined the Glenham-Belhar Community Association to help preserve the more than 3 acres of land through a land trust.
Avins founded Community Green Space specifically to create land trusts for community-managed open spaces.
