PARTICIPANTS IN THE GREENING'S ADULT WORKFORCE PROGRAM ARE TRAINED FOR JOBS IN LANDSCAPING, FORESTRY, AND AGRICULTURE. THE FOCUS AREAS WITHIN THE GREENING'S PROGRAM INCLUDE: FIRST AID AND SAFETY, LANDSCAPE PLAN READING AND ESTIMATING, TURF INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE, PLANTS AND PLANTINGS, TREE/SHRUB MAINTENANCE, IRRIGATION SYSTEMS, LANDSCAPE EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY (TAUGHT BY OSHA-CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS) AND CHAUFFEUR'S LICENSE TRAINING. IN 2014 THE PROGRAM ADDED A NEW CERTIFICATION IN THE FIELD OF URBAN FORESTRY, CALLED TREE ARTESIAN GROUNDS MEN. THIS CERTIFICATION FOCUSES ON URBAN FORESTRY, TREE REMOVAL, AND STUMP GRINDING. THIS PROGRAM IS ALSO CERTIFIED AS A FEDERAL APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. IN 2016, THE GREENING OF DETROIT PARTNERED WITH NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES ORGANIZATION, FOCUS: HOPE, AND MCGREGOR FUND TO EXPAND THE ADULT WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAM. THE DETROIT CONSERVATION CORPS (DCC) WAS FORMED AS SIX-YEAR COLLABORATION WITH A GOAL TO TRAIN AT LEAST 2,500 UNEMPLOYED DETROITERS THROUGH THE GREENING OF DETROIT'S ENTRY LEVEL LANDSCAPE INDUSTRY PROGRAM; AND PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT WITHIN A LOCAL CONSERVATION CORPS. THE CORPS OPERATES AS A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE, AVAILABLE TO IMPLEMENT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LANDSCAPE RENOVATION PROJECTS. DETROIT CONSERVATION CORPS ADULT WORKFORCE PROGRAM(DCC) IS A FEDERALLY ACCREDITED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM: GRADUATES RECEIVE MULTIPLE CERTIFICATIONS IN FIRST AID/CPR, MI-OSHA, CUSTOMER SERVICE, FINANCIAL LITERACY, WORK READINESS SOFT SKILLS, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION, TREE ARTISAN, FLORAL DCOR, AND RECENTLY ADDED IRRIGATION AND PESTICIDE APPLICATOR. DCC IS A COLLABORATIVE SERVICE PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES WRAP-AROUND SERVICES, INCLUDING SOCIAL SERVICE ASSISTANCE, RESUME WRITING, AND JOB INTERVIEW SKILLS THROUGH ITS PARTNER ORGANIZATION SCARLETT COMMUNICATIONS. OVER 700 ADULT TRAINEES HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE GREENING'S COHORT SESSIONS WITH CERTIFICATES. EIGHTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF THE TRAINEES HAVE BEEN PLACED INTO JOBS THAT PAY ON A MINIMUM AVERAGE $12.75 AN HOUR. IN 2018, 154 DETROITERS GRADUATED FROM THE DCC PROGRAM AND PLACED INTO EMPLOYMENT. THE GREENING OF DETROIT HAS PLANTED MORE THAN 130,000 TREES THROUGHOUT THE CITY SINCE 1989. AS OUR SCOPE OF WORK GREW, THE ORGANIZATION CREATED A SUMMER YOUTH WORKFORCE PROGRAM TO ASSIST IN THE WATERING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE TREES. THE GREEN CORPS PROGRAM HAS COLLECTIVELY EMPLOYED MORE THAN 1900 DETROIT YOUTH SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1998. BY MAINTAINING THOUSANDS OF TREES IN 135 PLANTING SITES ACROSS THE CITY, CORPS MEMBERS ARE INVESTING THEIR ENERGY AND TIME IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THESE STUDENTS ALSO BEAUTIFY PARKS, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND PARTICIPATE IN CONSERVATION PROJECTS THAT HAVE MEANINGFUL AND BENEFICIAL IMPACTS FOR DETROIT RESIDENTS. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK, AND TO NURTURE A SENSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE EXPOSE TO GREEN COLLAR, FORESTRY, AND NATURAL RESOURCES CAREERS, BY VISITING UNIVERSITIES & COLLEGES, ATTENDED CAREER FAIRS, COLLEGE READINESS ACT/SAT WORKSHOPS, WORK READINESS, FINANCIAL LITERACY, LEADERSHIP BUILDING, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, TEAM BUILDING AND PARTICIPATING IN ACTUAL PROJECT SITE VISITS TO WITNESS LIVE PROJECTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. IN 2018, 84 GREEN CORPS YOUTH WERE EMPLOYED BY THE GREENING OF DETROIT. TWO CONSERVATION PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED THIS SUMMER (MORE THAN 50 CONSERVATION PROJECTS COMPLETED SINCE 1988). GREEN CORPS EMPLOYEES WATERED AND WEEDED THOUSANDS OF TREES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. IN 2018, GREEN CORPS STUDENTS AGES 14 TO 17 EARNED AN HOURLY WAGE OF $8.90 AN HOUR AND OUR SUPERVISORS AGES 18 TO 24 EARNED $12.50 AN HOUR. THESE STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO OPPORTUNITIES IN GREEN COLLAR JOBS, COLLEGE READINESS, WORK READINESS, PARTICIPATING IN COLLEGE TOURS, LEADERSHIP BUILDING, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, AND TEAM BUILDING. IN TOTAL, THE GREENING OF DETROIT RAISED $1.2 MILLION TO SUPPORT THE WORKFORCE INITIATIVES. GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM THE MCGREGOR FOUNDATION, JPMORGAN CHASE, CITIZEN BANK, BANK OF AMERICA, DTE ENERGY FOUNDATION, FAET SNAP, CITY OF DETROIT, AND US FOREST SERVICE. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE VISIT WWW.GREENINGOFDETROIT.COM 643802 473297 GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE TREE PLANTING AND COMMUNITY FORESTRY HAS BEEN THE FOUNDATION OF THE GREENING OF DETROIT SINCE 1989. THIS WORK HAS GROWN INTO TODAY'S GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM. THE FOCUS OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF LIFE WITH DETROITERS BY PLANTING TREES AND NATIVE PLANTS TO CLEAN THE AIR WE BREATHE, THE WATER WE DRINK, THE LAND WE LIVE ON, AND TO LIFT THE SPIRIT OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY THROUGH LANDSCAPE. WE COLLABORATE WITH PARTNERS ON EVERY LEVEL - COMMUNITY, EDUCATION, RELIGIOUS, CORPORATE, FOUNDATION; FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT - TO IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT TREE PLANTING, STORM WATER MANAGEMENT, AND GREEN SPACE BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS. WRAPPED INTO THIS PROCESS IS COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION TO SUPPORT DETROITERS TO BECOME BETTER STEWARDS OF OUR LAND AND WATER. IN 2018, THE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM HOSTED OVER 40 TREE EVENTS AND ENGAGED 806 UNIQUE VOLUNTEERS, WHICH RESULTED IN 2704 TREES PLANTED AND 650 TREES GIVEN AWAY TO RESIDENTS OF DETROIT, HIGHLAND PARK, AND HAMTRAMCK.IN ADDITION TO THE VOLUNTEERS RECRUITED FOR PLANTINGS, OUR CITIZEN FORESTER PROGRAM IS AN EXTENSION OF OUR VOLUNTEERS AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMING. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES TREE PLANTING 101, VOLUNTEER 101 AND COMMUNICATION 101 TO OUR SUPER VOLUNTEERS INTERESTED IN HELPING THE GREENING OF DETROIT LEAD AND ASSIST COMMUNITY TREE PLANTINGS. TO DATE, OVER 152 INDIVIDUALS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN OUR CITIZEN FORESTER PROGRAM HELPING TO LEAD TREE PLANTINGS AND PROVIDING MAINTENANCE ON PROJECT SITES. ADDITIONALLY, WE FOCUS ON HANDS ON COMMUNITY EDUCATION, AND ON THE JOB TRAINING OF GREEN STORM WATER INITIATIVES (GSI) PRACTICES, INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BIO RETENTION FACILITY RIGHT AT OUR HEADQUARTERS. THE GREENING OF DETROIT IS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE LAND AND WATER WORKS PROGRAM, A COALITION OF 10 INDEPENDENT NON-PROFITS DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING DETROITERS TO BECOME BETTER STEWARDS OF LAND AND WATER.

MEYERS NURSERY, WHICH WILL PROVIDE IMPORTANT TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR DETROITERS AS THEY GROW TREES AND NATIVE PLANTS FOR DETROIT'S GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE. THE GREENING CURRENTLY LEASES 29 ACRES OF CITY-OWNED LAND COMPRISING MEYERS NURSERY IN DETROIT'S ROUGE PARK, AND HAS DEVELOPED BUSINESS AND NURSERY DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLANS TO CULTIVATE 19 ACRES IN THREE DISTINCT AREAS TO CORRESPOND WITH THREE GLOBAL NURSERY TYPOLOGIES, INCLUDING A POT-IN-POT NURSERY, A TRADITIONAL NURSERY WITH IRRIGATION AND FERTILIZATION, AND A TRADITIONAL NURSERY WITHOUT IRRIGATION AND FERTILIZATION. THESE PROPOSED NURSERY TYPES WERE SELECTED BASED ON THEIR CAPITALIZATION REQUIREMENTS, AND BECAUSE THEY WILL SERVE AS A TRAINING GROUND TO OFFER DIVERSE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNEMPLOYED DETROITERS TO GAIN SKILLS NEEDED TO ACCESS EMERGING GREEN SECTOR JOBS. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PRODUCTION NURSERY, MEYERS NURSERY IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE WORKFORCE TRAINING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NURSERYMAN TRAINING PROGRAM, TRAINEES WILL RECEIVE VALUABLE HANDS-ON LEARNING AND WORK EXPERIENCES THAT CAN LEAD TO INDUSTRY CERTIFICATIONS, PROMOTING THEIR ABILITY TO ACQUIRE SUSTAINABLE EMPLOYMENT AT ESTABLISHED NURSERIES. THE PROJECT HAS STRONG POTENTIAL FOR FOSTERING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AS SOME GRADUATES DEVELOP SMALL-SCALE TREE NURSERIES ON VACANT LAND IN DETROIT NEIGHBORHOODS. WHILE DETROITERS ARE BEING TRAINED AT MEYERS NURSERY, THEY WILL ALSO HELP TO GROW THE TREES NEEDED FOR THE GREENING'S ONGOING REFORESTATION EFFORTS. THE MEYERS NURSERY BUILD-OUT WILL RESULT IN 6,000 SMALL BARE ROOT TREES PLANTED WITH AN ANTICIPATED 2-3 YEAR, 3-5 YEAR OR 4-6 YEAR GROWTH CYCLE (DEPENDING ON THE NURSERY TYPE) THAT CAN BE OUT-PLANTED IN PARKS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY IN DETROIT, HIGHLAND PARK AND HAMTRAMCK.
