Hey everyone! I hope that you are doing great! It has been a month since our closing exhibition and we are so honored that we have gotten so many kind and wonderful responses to the project. It is truly remarkable. Thank you again to everyone that has been in participation with the project. While the banner part of the project is complete, we feel that our effort with TreeBaltimore has just begun.

The Baltimore Tree Trust is beginning shortly and we hope that you all support their efforts. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us and we will get you to the right party.

To answer a few questions: that keep coming up:
1. All unique and custom orders are now closed.

2. This is a one time project in Baltimore so it will not be repeated next year. If you are interested in participating in another Urban Forest Project, check out the national site to find out more information.

3. Any artwork created during the project is property of Tilt Studio Foundation, Inc. if you have a special project idea that you would like the designs for, please let us know. before just using a low-res scan from the map or taking the small image from our website (these images are very low-res and will not represent well in large reproduction of any kind)

4. We have lots of other projects as a foundation. Our next is Marketingfortheearth.com and it will be launching shortly. Check back soon to learn more.

5. T-shirts and bags are starting to ship the second week of August. Your order will be shipped in the order that was purchased. Posters and banners have already shipped, so if you haven’t received your order, please let us know and we will find out what has happened. We appreciate everyone’s patience since this was such an enormous organizational venture for us.

So, stay in touch. Always be a tree lover and we hope that you are always a Tilt friend and supporter!

Hi all you greener cleaner city lovers! Denise here to tell you we had our fundraising party for TreeBaltimore at AVAM Wednesday night (April 2nd) and it was amazing! We heard from these great speakers:

Mark Randall, the founder of the original Urban Forest Project in NYC shared his excitement at how we took his seed of an idea and grew it into a tree via our community stewardship approach
Myra Brosius the coordinator of Tree Baltimore (beneficiary of the Urban Forest Project) talked about our success raising awareness for their campaign
