Oct 12 – Volunteers Needed for Tree Planting at Johnson Nature Center in Bloomfield Hills
Bloomfield Hills, MI – ReLeaf Michigan, a statewide non-profit tree planting organization, and the DTE Energy Foundation, in collaboration with the Johnson Nature Center, Friends of the Johnson Nature Center, and Bloomfield Hills Schools, will plant 25 new trees at the Johnson Nature Center on Saturday, October 12. ReLeaf Michigan is looking for volunteers to help with the planting. This planting is part of a five-year long program to plant sugar maple trees and reestablish and expand the sugar bush at the nature center.
Volunteers are asked to wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing and bring a shovel, hard rake, and work gloves if they have them. The group will meet at 8:45 a.m. at 3325 Franklin Rd Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302 to sign in, enjoy refreshments, and watch a planting demonstration with ReLeaf Michigan’s tree experts.
The event occurs rain or shine. No planting experience is necessary. Join us for the morning and leave an environmental legacy that will add to the beauty of your community for generations. Families are welcome.
The DTE Foundation awarded ReLeaf Michigan funding for 2024 to plant a minimum of twenty trees in 15 communities throughout Michigan.
Trees provide incredible benefits to the communities in which they are planted. Trees improve air and water quality, reduce stormwater runoff, improve mental wellness, reduce childhood asthma rates, cool our neighborhoods, and enhance commercial and economic vitality.
ReLeaf Michigan, a 36-year-old non-profit organization, partners with communities statewide to replenish community tree canopies through volunteer tree planting events.
