Michigan State Forests

Reforestation Project and Memorial Trees in Michigan

Sympathy Gifts That Live Forever

Together with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, we are striving to replant Michigan’s forestlands on a large scale. This project will replant stands of native jack pines and red pines in state forests as well as nearby national forests. As the forests mature, they will provide a wide variety of ecosystem services. These trees also mean an improved habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, including deer, turkey, grouse, and — most notably — the Kirtland’s warbler.

PROVIDE WATER 

More than 50% of U.S. drinking water comes from forests. Trees pull water out from the ground and release it back into the rivers and lakes. 

CLEAN AIR 

Trees have been dubbed the “lungs of the Earth” because they absorb pollutants and filter contaminants in the air. 

CREATE OXYGEN 

One large tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to 4 people, while 2 ac. of forest provides enough for 500+ people each year. 

IMPROVE SOIL 

Trees break down organic matter then release nutrients back into the soil, which counteracts plants that take these nutrients out of the soil. 

PREVENT DISASTERS 

Tree root systems absorb water and stabilize soil, which help prevent erosion, flooding, and other natural disasters from happening. 

HELP WILDLIFE 

Trees are essential to wildlife and ecosystems. They provide food, protection, and homes for many birds and mammals.
