Faith Presbyterian Church in Baltimore is revamping its parking lot into green spaces designed to improve the environment. This transformation aims to provide cleaner, safer surroundings by replacing concrete with greenery, helping to create a more sustainable and welcoming space for the community.

With support from Blue Water Baltimore and Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake, the church removed a section of its parking lot in order to plant native trees and flowering groundcover. Watch the video to learn why they took this step and how it is benefitting the community’s health and life, not to mention the Earth.
