Volunteering: Greening of Detroit - Community Tree Planting

Please come to help us plant trees in Detroit neighborhoods. The Greening of Detroit is a non-profit organization focused on enhancing the quality of life for Detroiters by planting trees, providing job training and involving our youth in the education of the natural environment.

The Greening of Detroit continues to build on the foundation of its green infrastructure program, focusing on serving and empowering Detroit communities in the development of healthy green and productive landscapes. This work is intentional and community oriented. It combines information, education and community outreach to support the installation and maintenance of ecological landscapes.

What we’ll be doing:
We’ll be planting trees for local residents! Don’t worry if you’ve never planted a tree before – we’ll show you how and be with you every step of the way to ensure your success.

What to bring/wear:

• Close-toed work shoes or boots

• Gardening/work gloves

• Dress for the weather and be ready to get a little dirty (we plant rain or shine, so layers are always a good idea!)

• A water bottle and a snack (We’ll have a refillable water jug available on-site.)

T-SHIRT SIZING
If you registered prior to April 4th by noon, we will have your specified shirt size reserved. Any volunteers that register after the 4^th will be able to select from what is available. We hope to have a range of options.

Please support CREW Detroit with our Greening of Detroit Volunteer Planting efforts!
