We are pleased to announce that Baltimore County's Growing Home Campaign has grown! The 2008 Campaign has expanded to include a partnership with Baltimore City and beginning this spring the two jurisdictions will be Growing Greener, Growing Together. The Growing Home program is an innovative public-private partnership to increase the tree canopy in our region by offering homeowners comprehensive education about planting trees and a cash incentive, the $10 Growing Home Tree Coupon, to encourage tree planting on private residential land. This unique partnership between our jurisdictions, local retail nurseries and garden centers, and homeowners is an important component of Baltimore County's Green Renaissance and, beginning this spring, Baltimore City's TreeBaltimore Initiative.
Did you know that DEPRM implements a regionally renowned stream restoration program? Read this informative publication, which highlights DEPRM's stream restoration accomplishments. DEPRM's program incorporates project planning and design, widespread communication and support, construction and post-restoration follow-up. The program integrates state-of-the art techniques with an environmentally sensitive approach to stabilizing streams and reducing sediment loads, in turn enhancing stream morphology ecological function, water quality, and aquatic habitat. The EPA Mid-Atlantic Integrated Assessment program (MAIA) produced this document to help share knowledge between state and local governments, regional offices, and non-governmental organizations.
The Department of Environmental Protection and Resource Management periodically receives requests for environmental administrative variances. The Department publishes a list of the environmental administrative variance requests along with their status. The requests are listed by County Council District. The DEPRM Function Brochure (PDF) provides phone numbers and brief descriptions of the services offered by the Department of Environmental Protection and Resource Management.  (Need PDF Help?)
