The 25th anniversary of a partnership between the DTE Energy Foundation, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and nonprofit ReLeaf Michigan continues a legacy of urban tree-planting in Michigan communities through an annual grant program.
A total of $95,000 is available in 1-to-1 matching grants of up to $4,000. Eligible organizations in DTE Energy’s service territory may apply by June 18.
What began as partnership in 1996 to plant trees on state forest lands was later expanded to include tree planting along streets and in parks and communities. Since then, more than 20 million trees and $3.5 million in funding have helped bring natural beauty and environmental benefits to Michigan forests and communities.
