(City of Hazel Park, April 21, 2025)

Hazel Park, MI — ReLeaf Michigan, a statewide non-profit tree organization, in partnership with the city of Hazel Park and the DTE Energy Foundation is looking for volunteers to help plant 20 trees at Tuski Memorial Park, 900 E. Tucker St. Hazel Park 48030, Saturday morning, May 3rd starting at 8:45 a.m.

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 Tuski Memorial Park at 8:45 a.m. to sign in, enjoy refreshments, and watch a planting demonstration with ReLeaf Michigan’s tree experts.
Families are welcome! 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. We hope to see you there!
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 37-year-old non-profit organization, partners with communities statewide to replenish community tree canopies through volunteer tree planting events. The DTE Foundation awarded ReLeaf Michigan funding for 2025 to plant a minimum of twenty trees in 14 communities throughout Michigan.
