Make a difference in a few hours that can last decades!

ReLeaf Michigan, a non-profit tree organization, is partnering with City of Milan, Milan Beautification Commission, River Raisin Watershed Council, and the US Forest Service to plant 40 trees at Wilson Park, Milan Middle School, and Milan Nature Park. This is a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative tree planting project funded by the US Forest Service. In addition to the GLRI mission, the community is planting trees to increase crown cover, support the watershed environment, provide shade, and replace trees lost to insects and disease. ReLeaf Michigan’s tree experts will be there to show volunteers how to plant a tree and oversee the event.  Please wear closed-toe shoes and bring a shovel, hard rake, and gloves if you have them. Event occurs rain or shine (we’re a hearty group!). No planting experience necessary. Families are welcome! We hope to see you there!
