The Trees of Grosse Pointe:

A Living Heritage

The Grosse Pointe community is rich with natural beauty, and its trees are a vital part of our shared history and environment. From majestic oaks lining historic streets to unique specimens in public parks, these trees not only enhance our surroundings but also tell stories of the past. This project will involve residents, schools, local organizations, and city officials to identify, document, and celebrate the trees of interest in our community.
