Happy Arbor Day! Let’s Grow Together 🌱
In cities like Detroit, Arbor Day isn’t just a celebration—it’s a call to action. A chance to rebuild, reimagine, and restore what was lost—creating community resilience after Detroit’s urban tree canopy decline. Trees are more than part of the landscape… they’re living infrastructure that cool our neighborhoods, clean our air, manage stormwater, and support biodiversity. 🌿
In just under two years, with the incredible support of The Greening of Detroit, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and Hispanic Access Foundation’s Nuestros Bosques Community Forestry Grant, together, we’ve planted 154 trees across five project sites—each one strengthening Detroit’s comeback. 🌳
This work directly aligns with Detroit’s growing identity as a Tree City USA, Bird City, Bee City USA, and a UNESCO City of Design—where thoughtful design, environmental stewardship, and community-driven spaces come together to shape a more sustainable, vibrant future. 🐦🐝🌼
From vacant lots to thriving green spaces, we’re growing more than trees—we’re growing healthier communities, restoring ecosystems, and building a future where both people and pollinators can thrive.
Let’s keep planting. Let’s keep growing.
Because resilience is rooted in the trees we plant today. 🌍💚
