Planning Tools
No matter where you are in the planning process, the tools below can help you plan the best tree planting to fit your needs. Use the Community Action Guide and Vibrant Cities Lab for a step-by-step walk through and the City of Detroit’s Parcel Viewer to confirm ownership of the land you want to plant on. Tree Equity Score, and the Detroit-specific Tree Equity Score Analyzer, are free tools to find the areas that will benefit most from trees and show the impact your trees can have once planted. This video gives an overview of how to use the Tree Equity Score.
