The Ecological Design Collective is a non-profit project founded by researchers and community organizations in Baltimore and a growing community around the world. A collaborative initiative focused on addressing ecological crises through design
Join us in caring for our local forests. Wavy basketgrass is a fast-spreading invasive that crowds out native species and prevents trees from regenerating. Together, we’ll remove this “plant bully” and open space for native plants to thrive. 🌳

📅 Oct 12th, 2 - 4 pm
