About The Greening of Detroit:
Since 1989, we have planted over 177,000 trees in the City of Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park. We continue to plant along city and residential streets and within parks and playgrounds.
Detroit is an urban area - that makes trees a vital part of city living. Trees are key to our quality of life, public health and provide enumerable environmental benefits. They help reduce extreme heat, manage stormwater, and create and clean the air we breathe. Now more than ever, we need to be protecting and expanding our urban forests!
