Stillmeadow PeacePark: Restoring Urban Forests and Community Resilience

Stillmeadow Community Fellowship Church is the owner of 10 acres of urban woodlands known as the Stillmeadow Community PeacePark & Forest in a southwest Baltimore neighborhood which until recently was ecologically degraded, with many dead ash trees and invasive vines and little understory recruitment due to deer overgrazing. Over the past year the Northern Research Station has joined forces with Pastor Michael Martin, leader of the Stillmeadow Community Church, and many other community groups and residents, to help achieve the community’s vision of restoring this 10-acre parcel.
