Volunteers Needed for Community Tree Planting Event

In Harbor Springs, MI: Saturday, October 8th, 2022

September 27, 2022, Harbor Springs, MI — ReLeaf Michigan, a statewide non-profit tree organization, in partnership with Harbor Springs and the DTE Foundation, is looking for volunteers to help plant 20 trees at City Hall, 160 Zoll St Harbor Springs, MI Saturday morning, October 8th starting at 11 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 160 Zoll Street, Harbor Springs, MI, at 10:45 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 34-year-old non-profit organization, partners with communities statewide to replenish community tree canopies through volunteer tree planting events. DTE is a strong steward of the environment and, over the past 26 years, has helped plant over 47,000 trees and seedlings in nearly 700 communities across the state of Michigan.
