Before Detroit Was Known For Its Plants,
It Was Known For Its Trees
Today, just about everyone knows it as The Motor City. But long ago, when transportation was truly horse-
powered, Detroit was referred to by somewhat different names. Like The City of Trees. Over time, urban expan-
sion and an epidemic of Dutch Elm disease claimed a huge number of trees. Few have been replaced.
The Greening of Detroit is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of Detroit's
citizens through the reforestation of the city's neighborhoods, parks and boulevards. To learn more about how
you can help, please call The Greening of Detroit at 393-TREE.
