The workers of Cylburn Arboretum Friends support the Baltimore City community by providing nature education programs and stewarding Cylburn Arboretum, a 200-acre, free-access green space. Their work is vital to fostering a healthy, greener Baltimore.

These workers have chosen to unionize—a protected legal right— as Baltimore Untied Green Spaces (BUGS). However, Cylburn Arboretum Friends’ leadership has chosen to challenge their efforts and have not only refused to voluntarily recognize their union, but have challenged their very right to unionize at all.

We are asking members of our community to show your support for us by emailing members of CAF’s Board of Directors to demand they recognize our union today! You can use our drafted message or write your own.
