Joseph Beuys Tree Partnership

Baltimore is among the major urban centers to embrace Joseph Beuys' ideas. Beginning in the fall of 2000, with the help of community volunteers, 242 indigenous trees were planted locally as social sculpture in Patterson Park, Carroll Park, Wyman Park Dell, and at UMBC. During the first phase, the project initiators provided 100 trees each at Patterson and Carroll Parks, 12 trees and 4 stones at Wyman Park Dell, and 30 Oak trees and granite stones at UMBC. A special ceremony at each site celebrated the revitalized landscape. As with any project of this kind, the long-term health of the trees was an important concern, so a two-year watering and maintenance plan was included in the funding to ensure their survival.
