Project Clean Belle Isle

 
Planting Trees on Belle Isle
Sunday, October 9 | 1 PM 
Location: Meet at Parking lot east of Detroit Yacht Club, Riverbank Drive

Earlier this year 282 runners, walkers, kids and dogs participated in DSG's 6th Annual Spring Into Nature Belle Isle 5K Run/Walk!
You, and our sponsors, raised just over $6,000 for the Friends of Belle Isle Tree Fund! Grab a shovel; it's time to plant those trees!

 

Join us on Sunday, October 9th from 1 to 5pm to plant the trees on the east side the island, between the golf course and the Detroit Yacht Club-the goal is 20 to 25 trees.

Greening of Detroit will show you how. Shovels and garden gloves will be provided, but if you have your own, please feel free to bring them. Light refreshments will be available.

 

What better way to end the fall planting season, than digging in the dirt with a few dozen of your friends?!

Just think-next Spring, when you walk, run, or bike on Belle Isle, you can say "Hey, I planted that tree!" It's a good thing!

 

**The parking lot is situated on a small side street where Lakeside Drive (near the golf course) turns into Riverbank Drive (the address of the Yacht Club). From the main one-way road, turn right onto the side street and park at the end.
