"This is more than just planting trees and changing landscapes….it’s changing lives. Working with hundreds of residents each year, we are creating multi-functional green spaces that improve environmental conditions, provide employment opportunities, and promote social outcomes to nurture a vibrant and revitalized Detroit."
Rivian Foundation's grant
Rivian Foundation's support is helping The Greening of Detroit to increase tree canopy coverage by strategically planting 5,000 new trees in neighborhoods most affected by tree loss. This funding will also enhance the Detroit Conservation Corps program, providing training and employment opportunities in urban forestry and landscaping and advance youth programs like the Green Corps Youth Employment program and the TreeKeepers Kids program, which educate and engage young Detroiters in environmental conservation and tree planting initiatives.
