Volunteer Tree Planting

Trenton Tree Planting
October 28, 2023
​

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, Trenton High School, the city of Trenton, and volunteers planted 20 trees at Lexington Park on Saturday, October 28th. The trees were planted to help manage the park's floodplain and to replace ash trees that are succumbing to the Emerald Ash Borer.

About ReLeaf Michigan
ReLeaf Michigan is Michigan's only statewide tree planting non-profit organization, working with communities and organizations throughout Michigan to protect and restore our urban tree canopies. Founded by some of the most respected arborists in the state, ReLeaf Michigan plants the Right Tree in the Right Place at the Right Time to ensure each tree thrives for generations to come.

Since 1988, ReLeaf Michigan has planted over 33,500 trees on public land with more than 709 communities and, through community workshops, increased awareness of the important benefits trees provide. Our communities are stronger when they are greener. People are healthier, the air is cleaner, infrastructure is more efficient, and the economy is stronger with trees. ​
