One of a Kind! One in a million!

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Holy Man! Jess here! I cannot believe all the amazing submissions that we had for banners. Danny has been mailing everyone in our office sneak peaks of all the designs. I must say… I think I need to buy a bag! I know. I know. I am already a bag lady but these are one of a kind pieces of art that relate to an amazing cause and the designs are just so cool.

I also need to thank all the wonderful teachers out there that took the challenge to bring the Urban Forest Project into their classrooms. We received a whooping 240 banner designs from K-12 students! You all Rock!

Ethan Pronovost from Park School created this awesome tree for his banner! Look for these banners on display throughout the exhibition in Druid Hill Park!

How can you take part in the UFP?

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Hey everyone, Denise here! We’re just so psyched about Baltimore’s enthusiasm for the Urban Forest Project . Your energy pours forth everyday with so many people calling, emailing, dropping in – they want to know how they can help the UFP be an awesome experience. The answer is simple – and very cool too. Be a UFP sponsor!!!

Check this out. The UFP tells the story of trees – and why we need more of them. During the UFP, you will see “trees” throughout Baltimore that are created from banners on poles. Now imagine a real tree in it’s place. How easy it is to see the difference made by one single tree! The real difference is of course what it does for our environment, but wow, to be surrounded by them is truly visually inspiring.

Be a sponsor. You help us “plant” the UFP trees by sponsoring the banners that are hung on the poles. Each banner displays the banner sponsor’s name on the bottom (see below)! How amazing it will feel to see YOUR NAME there!!! And you know all your friends will want to check it out. Your contribution pays for the banner to be printed and then, when the UFP ends, all proceeds are donated to TreeBaltimore - which plants REAL trees throughout the city!

Sponsor a banner now! Save a tree and make your contribution online. You’ll see all the other ways you can help too. One of the best ways, always, is to tell your friends and employers to help too. Be sure to ask your neighborhood businesses for their support!

This movement towards growing greener is happening everyday because you truly care. And so do we. Thank you for sponsoring the UFP and creating change!

Shop around town!

You can now find Baltimore: The Urban Forest Project merchandise at several stores in Hampden. Below is a photo of our display at WhollyTerra. You can also find t-shirts, buttons, hand-painted tiles, and bag pre-order forms at Shine. Look for UFP merchandise coming soon to other retailers across the city. But as always, you can shop 24/7 online. T’s and buttons make great gifts, and don’t forget to preorder your bag today! Each bag is made one of a kind out of the banners in the exhibition. Check out the image below of how Chad Miller’s “Bmore Hon” bird would look as a bag! These will be going fast!

Red Maple & UFP

Hi all! Danny here. I’d really like to thank everyone who came out to Red Maple last night for the Mix & Mingle. It turned out to be a great success!

Everyone here really appreciates the community response we’ve gotten so far for this project and we hope the sky’s the limit in the coming months.

Below is a little grouping of images from last evening. Enjoy!
