Two Upper Peninsula communities are receiving grants from the DTE Energy Foundation to plant trees in their neighborhoods.
Forsyth Township, in Marquette County, will receive $4,000 from the program, and the City of Gladstone was approved for $2,500.
These two grants are among 31 statewide that total more than $105,000.
“The DTE Foundation looks forward to seeing how our grants and support come to fruition in our communities through these newly planted trees,” said Lynette Dowler, president of the DTE Energy Foundation. “We’re dedicated to protecting, preserving and expanding our state’s natural resources, and our partners like the DNR and ReLeaf Michigan are integral in this mission.”
The program is administered by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and nonprofit tree organization ReLeaf Michigan, which works to educate the public on the value of trees and how to properly select, plant and maintain them.
