ReLeaf Michigan, a non-profit organization, partners with communities statewide to replenish tree canopies through tree planting events. Trees provide many benefits to communities such as shade, improving economic vitality of commercial districts, absorbing storm water, and reducing carbon in our atmosphere. By partnering with ReLeaf Michigan, the City of Birmingham continues to build on an already successful forestry program that invests in the city’s future. This planting is being sponsored by ReLeaf Michigan and the DTE Foundation.
