PUBLIC FUNDING CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT TREE PLANTING PROGRAM IN TECUMSEH
Article published by the Tecumseh Herald on 11/21/2018
A number of interested citizens has formed a group called Re-Tree Tecumseh that will plan, execute and raise funds for a tree planting program in city right-of-ways and public spaces. The mission is to establish an ongoing re-treeing of Tecumseh through new planting, care and judicious pruning of existing trees.
They will collaborate with the city and ReLeaf Michigan in this endeavor. Established in 1988, ReLeaf Michigan has worked with 400 Michigan communities to plant 30,000 trees on public land and educate the public on tree related issues. The board consists of mostly arborists and tree experts. Thirteen trees were recently planted at Hotrum Park in partnership between the Rotary Club, the city and ReLeaf Michigan.
The first priority for the group is the North Evans Street corridor, bordering River Acres subdivision. Those flowering trees on the west side of North Evans were planted shortly after the development of that subdivision in the late 1950s or early 1960s and have been a beautiful entrance to the city for nearly 60 years. They have grown old, weak and hardy bloom anymore. Some new trees were added about 15 or more years ago. Interference with the electrical lines is also an issue. Many similar trees border the east side of that area and also need to be replaced. It will take nearly 100 trees for just the area between Burt Street and the north entrance to Red Mill Drive at an estimated cost of $200 each.
Since there has not been a tree program in the city since the recession many other areas also need trees. The group would like to concentrate on all the entrances to the city first, then, add street trees and some new plantings to the parks and other city properties. Obviously, this is an expensive, multi-year project.
Re-Tree Tecumseh also plans to help educate the public on the care and maintenance of trees. Another goal is to review policies regarding tree removal on the city tree lawn. A future project would create a nursery of small trees that could be purchased less expensively and let grow a few years before they are planted on the street or in parks. Tecumseh had a similar program several years ago.
A meeting between the group and city leaders and staff was very productive and an agreement on what many trees on North Evans will be cut in preparation of a proposed spring planting. The DPW will cut the trees, remove or grind the stumps, prepare the holes and provide mulch and watering for the new plantings. ReLeaf Michigan will help with selecting species and layout of the new trees and assist us to obtain grants though their many sources.
A public funding campaign will begin after the first of the year. It will likely include a Go Fund Me type campaign a “Dedicate a Tree” program for memorials, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. and other funding options. Contributions may be made to : City of Tecumseh, 309 E. Chicago Blvd., Tecumseh, MI 49286. Please mark Re-Tree Tecumseh in the memo.
For more information contact: Cheri Hinkleman, 517-423-5906, [email protected]; or Pam Adair, 734-834-6596, [email protected]. Volunteers will be needed and much appreciated.
