MACOMB COUNTY — Officials from Macomb County and the Village of Romeo came together on Friday, April 28, to plant 29 trees at Trailside Park in Romeo for Arbor Day.
Trailside Park is located along the Macomb Orchard Trail near 32 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue. The park is a former Macomb County Road Commission storage site, which was redeveloped into natural space. By planting trees in the park, the site is able to further become a recreation destination.
“With the addition of these new trees at Trailside Park, we’re continuing to make this outdoor space a beautiful and welcoming place for residents and visitors,” Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel said. “I am so pleased to mark Arbor Day in this manner and to once again demonstrate the county’s commitment to improving our environment and taking care of our community.”
The event was led by Macomb County Planning and Economic Development, which will host several plantings this season through its Green Macomb Urban Forest Partnership. Launched in 2016, the program aims to double the tree canopy in Macomb County. With the support of Second Nature Brands, other plants planted at the park included hawthorns, crabapples, maples, sycamores, redbud and cypress trees.
