About the Tag
ReLeaf Michigan and the DTE Energy Foundation feel strongly about education related to planting and maintaining trees. Tree ID tags were created and placed on DTE-funded trees to further engage communities. Scanning the tag QR code brings people to a planting specific webpage like this one! More information can be learned about the particular planting and the trees planted. Thank you for checking it out! 
About the Planting
In this planting ReLeaf Michigan, DTE Energy Foundation, Friends of the Pontiac Parks Association, city of Pontiac, Pontiac Community Foundation, and volunteers planted 20 trees at Baldwin Park on Saturday, May 21, 2022. These trees will increase the overall canopy of the city! The purpose of this planting is to provide shade and aesthetic improvement around the park! Trees were planted on E. Howard St. at Baldwin Park, between Edison St. and Charlotte St. Trees were planted on both sides of the street. About the DTE Energy Foundation
