Help Shape the Landscape; We want to hear from you!

 

The Greening of Detroit wants to hear your thoughts on trees and greenspaces in your community. Help shape the landscape of your neighborhood by sharing your ideas through this brief survey. Your input will be essential in identifying the best place to plant trees and create accessible greenspaces for everyone. Let your voice be heard, and let's grow a greener Detroit together!

 

Why plant a tree on your property? Your new tree can:

  • Clean air pollution and create oxygen

  • Provide shade and comfortable indoor and outdoor temperatures

  • Keep the Detroit River and our Great Lakes clean

  • Help manage for climate change

  • Support wildlife and biodiversity (birds + bees!)

  • Beautify the neighborhood and create sense of place for you and your neighbors

  • Create jobs: residents can train and work in Detroit reforesting careers

SIgn up to Receive a tree! We will work with you to choose the best species for your home. All trees will be planted on the berm (easement / public property area between the sidewalk and the street) in front of your house; we will notify you when that planting will occur. The Greening of Detroit will provide maintenance in the first 3 years; we encourage homeowners to also water and care for their tree
