Arboretum Detroit Plants Detroit’s First Sequoia Forest
WDET recently featured a new organization that we are excited to introduce you to!
“Arboretum Detroit, a nonprofit in the city’s Poletown east neighborhood is partnering with an organization in northern Michigan to plant Detroit’s first ever forest of giant sequoia trees.
Sequoias are among some of the oldest tree species in the world — with the ability to live up to 3,000 years old. As a drought-resistant, major absorber of carbon dioxide, giant sequoias are extremely beneficial for helping to mitigate climate change.
“Giant sequoias are very fast growing, and have the potential to capture 10 times the carbon of your average tree,” said Birch Kemp, co-founder and executive director of Arboretum Detroit.
