What We Do
Tree PlantingWe plant trees to rebuild Michigan’s urban and rural tree canopies. Our plantings are done in partnership with cities, townships, villages, youth groups, neighborhoods, schools and other volunteer groups. All planting volunteers learn how to properly plant and care for trees.
|
EducationWe offer on-site workshops to community forums and school children on why trees are important, how to choose the right tree and proper care to grow healthy, long living trees. Every presentation is tailored to the needs of the community.

Big Tree HuntThink you've spotted the largest tree in Michigan? Join others all around the state who submit trees to our competition for the biggest tree in our biennial Michigan Big Tree Hunt. The hunt is on from now until September 3, 2019!

Why We Need Trees
For every four trees that die due to old age, disease or development, only one tree is typically replanted.
Trees play a vital role in our community's health and wellness in more ways than you might expect.
