Volunteers Invited to Plant Trees at Spring Lake Park for Environmental Project
A community event is scheduled for May 16, 2026, at Spring Lake Park in Bear Creek Township, where volunteers are invited to plant 20 new trees. The initiative is part of a park renovation project aimed at creating a buffer between the park and the road, as well as enhancing water filtration. The event, organized by ReLeaf Michigan in partnership with Bear Creek Township and the DTE Energy Foundation, will start at 8:45 a.m. and last until noon. Participants are encouraged to bring their own shovels, hard rakes, and work gloves, and to wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing. The event will proceed regardless of weather conditions, and families are welcome to join, with no prior planting experience required.
