Neighborhood Design Center

Project

The Neighborhood Design Center works with residents and community organizations in underserved Baltimore and Prince George’s County communities to design and implement environmentally sustainable community projects. This grant supports its project to restore the East Pines Community Forest in Prince George’s County, which will address multiple urgent needs: closing the green space access gap, mitigating environmental degradation, and fostering community health and resilience. The Neighborhood Design Center will use this project as a pilot to develop templates, management practices, and community engagement strategies that can be scaled county-wide.
