The Southeast CDC has planted hundreds of trees in Southeast Baltimore, thanks to funding and partnership from the Chesapeake Bay Trust, Parks and People Foundation, TreeBaltimore, Blue Water Baltimore, and the Baltimore Regional Neighborhood Initiative. These tree plantings contribute to a multi-partner effort to establish a substantial tree canopy in Southeast Baltimore, which has some of the lowest tree canopies in the State of Maryland. Areas of focus for tree planting efforts have included Highlandtown, Highlandtown Main Street, Patterson Park, CARE, and the Fayette Street corridor.
Along with increasing the tree canopy, the Southeast CDC has also funded and managed a pocket park projects, including the Fayette Street Pocket Park, Library Square rain gardens, Luzerne rain garden, and Roberts Place Garden.
