Abstract: A wonderful opportunity for community improvement materialized as the "Greening of Dundalk". A well coordinated effort between government agencies, private enterprise, university research and community volunteers resulted in a highly successful beautification program. The Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BG&E) was able to participate by removing designated trees beneath the power lines and supplying flowering crab apples as replacements. The trees were obtained under the guidance of the Penn State sponsored Municipal Tree Restoration Program (MTRP) of which BG&E is an active member. BG&E expects to recoup it's initial expenditures in approximately 3.3 years.
