Where, why, how, and to what effect? STEW-MAP defines a “stewardship group” as a civic organization or group that works to conserve, manage, monitor, advocate for, and/or educate the public about their local environments. STEW-MAP data are shared without the inclusion of personally identifiable information of individual respondents. This dataset includes results from the 2019 Baltimore, MD, STEW-MAP survey. Contact information is provided at the organizational (e.g., civic environmental stewardship group) level. This public version of the dataset only includes those groups in the database that agreed to be publicly listed. For more information on STEW-MAP, including methods, see </span></font><a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/research/projects/stew-map" target="_blank">https://www.fs.usda.gov/research/projects/stew-map</a><font color="#242424" face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;">.</span></font></div>
