In order to restore harmony to our planet we need major changes in the relationships of people to the Earth & our neighboring species. This is especially vital for city people, as estranged as urban life can be from our neighbors, and so the vision of Arboretum Detroit, led by Birch Kemp & Kinga Osz-Kemp, is to knit together the community of trees & people in Detroit with “a quilt of protected forest that will safely mature in perpetuity for all Detroiters”.
