Residential Tree Form
Detroit, Highland Park, and Hamtramck
Did you receive a tree planting flyer? That means we’re planting in your area this season! Tell us how you would like to participate. In the form below, please give your information and sign up to request a certain tree species or opt out of the program.
We will work with you to choose the best species for your home. All trees will be planted on the berm (easement / public property area between the sidewalk and the street) in front of your house; we will notify you when that planting will occur. The Greening of Detroit will provide maintenance in the first 3 years; we encourage homeowners to also water and care for their tree
Why plant a tree on your property? Your new tree can:
Clean air pollution and create oxygen
Provide shade and comfortable indoor and outdoor temperatures
Keep the Detroit River and our Great Lakes clean
Help manage for climate change
Support wildlife and biodiversity (birds + bees!)
Beautify the neighborhood and create sense of place for you and your neighbors
Create jobs: residents can train and work in Detroit reforesting careers
