It's a hot one this summer, so we've got some hydration tips for your trees coming your way in July's DTEP newsletter. If you haven't signed up to receive our monthly newsletter yet, check out the latest edition here and sign up on our website for more updates!

These Dog Days of Summer can be stressful on people and trees; we’re taking a break from planting until fall but there’s still plenty of ways for you to continue to join in on the buzz and excitement of improving Detroit’s tree canopy.

Exciting news! American Forests has expanded the Score Analyzer to Detroit, MI with the support of local partners and with funding from The Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation.

Each Tree Equity Score Analyzer is developed for a specific single city or region ready to take action on Tree Equity. Tree Equity Score is publicly accessible and guides efforts based on canopy cover, climate, and socio-economic data.

In Detroit, increasing urban tree canopy will positively affect air quality — helping reduce the impacts of asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

Special thanks to everyone who worked to bring this tool to !
