ABOUT US >

The heat island effect is present in areas where structures are heavily concentrated and trees and other greenery are limited. This leads to higher temperatures in these neighborhoods compared to more rural spaces. Around 45% of Baltimore's population experiences the urban heat island effect, with some neighborhoods being up to 10 degrees hotter than others. Branches for Baltimore, an organization run by Baltimore City  students, has a goal of planting trees in these areas to decrease the impact of the urban heat island effect.
