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!

About the Planting
In this planting ReLeaf Michigan, DTE Energy Foundation, Dearborn Schools, and volunteers planted 20 trees at Salina Elementary School on Friday, October 11th. The trees were planted to serve as a sound and visual barrier between the school and the large industrial complex behind it.
