Greening of Detroit aims to plant 3,500 trees this year

• Greening asks that Detroit residents organize groups of eight to 10 neighbors, as opposed to one person asking for a single tree, president Lionel Bradford tells Axios.
• Most trees are planted in between the sidewalk and street in front of the home.

Details: The nonprofit and its volunteers plant ball and burlap trees, caring for them for three years. They do around 40-50 planting projects a year.

• Greening's goal this year is to get 3,500 trees in the ground.

Of note: Learn more and apply to get trees planted on Greening's website. The group also has a fall planting season and takes applications on a rolling basis.
