Celebrate Earth Day by planting trees with SEMIAC!
Since 1989 we have planted over 146,000 trees in the City of Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park. We continue to plant along city and residential streets and within parks and playgrounds.Detroit is an urban area – that makes trees a vital part of city living. Trees are key to our quality of life, public health and provide enumerable environmental benefits. They help reduce extreme heat, manage storm-water, and create and clean the air we breath. Now more than ever we need to be protecting and expanding our urban forests!Come join us for a fun filled day of planting trees and helping to expand Detroit’s canopy cover. All ages are welcome and training and tools will be provided on-site.
Please note that this is an outdoor event so dress accordingly. Some things to keep in mind to bring:
- close-toed shoes/boots
- work/gardening gloves
- water bottle
- snacks
The activity may be physically strenuous so we encourage everyone to pace themselves.
