Detroit was originally designed and known for tree-lined streets. Once hailed as the Paris of the Midwest, since the 1950’s, Detroit has lost nearly 500,000 trees on public and private property. The restoration of tree canopy along our streets, in our parks, at our schools, on vacant lots and open spaces is a key objective for The Greening of Detroit. We work with Detroit communities and the city in order to make this possible and by joining us in our effort, you will be a part of reforesting the city. There are many social, economic and ecological benefits to planting trees.

With over 30 years of tree planting experience, The Greening of Detroit has developed a simple and systematic approach to organizing a successful event.

A “Citizen Forester” or staff member is assigned to each group to teach your how to plant, answer questions, and provide support and quality management throughout the planting event. Most teams of volunteers should expect to plant 2-3 trees. Some teams will plant more or less depending on planting conditions and their ability.

Unless otherwise stated, our volunteer plantings follow this general schedule:

9:00 - 9:15 a.m. Registration
Sign in at the welcome table to confirm your arrival, get a name tag, and receive your zone number.

9:15-9:30 a.m. Welcome
Greening staff will introduce out work and the specifics of the project before sending you off in your zone to begin planting.

9:30a - 10:00 a.m. Planting Demonstration
Citizen Foresters will demonstrate The Greening’s planting method. This method has been proven successful in challenging urban environments.

10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Tree Planting
Teams of 2-3 volunteers will each choose and plant a tree. It generally takes about one hour to plant a tree. When finished, you may move on to the next tree.

1:00 p.m. Wrap Up
Collect your tools and return to the welcome area. Congratulate yourself and your teammates on a job well done!

La nostra serra ribolle di piantine biologiche che non vedono l’ora di trovare la loro collocazione in orto. Ti va di aiutarci a metterle a dimora?

È un lavoro alla portata di tutti: servono solo abbigliamento comodo e che si possa sporcare, scarpe da campagna, una borraccia personale (perché in campo fa caldo) e la voglia di “mettere le mani in pasta”.
Concluderemo la mattinata di lavoro condividendo un gustoso pranzetto, offerto da La Nuova Arca e preparato con le verdure bio del nostro orto. Che dici, sei dei nostri? Ti aspettiamo!

Our corporate volunteer program, Food Rescue Tours, provides corporate groups with an educational and hands-on volunteer experience. Your team will learn about the issues of wasted food and food insecurity in NYC from an RLC staff member and then get to help address those issues by participating in a food rescue event.

We do require a corporate donation for these events, which varies depending on the size/scope of the event. All funds go towards our work to reduce wasted food and hunger in our community.

Benefits of participating in a Food Rescue Tour include:

● Educational Experience: Learn about the issues of wasted food and food insecurity, how RLC addresses those issues, and how your employees can get involved.

● Hands-on Volunteering: An RLC staff member will lead the group through a food rescue event, where employees will help pack up the donated food and deliver it to a local nonprofit partner.

● Immediate Impact: A staff member at our nonprofit partner will talk to your employees about the impact the food donations will have on the community they serve.

● Recognition: RLC will provide a recap of your group’s impact inclusive of how much food was rescued, photos from the event, a social media post, and newsletter mention.
