Tree planting grants

People might want to be on the lookout this fall and next spring for some new trees along streets and parks in 31 Michigan communities.

They will share $105,000 in grants awarded this year to complete 33 tree-planting projects around the state.

The trees, to be planted along streets and in parks and other public spaces, come courtesy of a program sponsored by the DTE Foundation and administered by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the nonprofit tree organization ReLeaf Michigan.

Individual grants range in size from $600 for a tree-planting project in St. Clair County’s Lynn Township, to $4,000 awards in multiple communities from the Detroit area and in Grand Traverse and Marquette counties.

Forsyth Township will receive $4,000.

Also, the city of Gladstone will receive $2,500.
