IN 2012, THE GREENING EXPANDED ITS STORM-WATER RETENTION EFFORTS BY PARTNERING WITH THE CITY OF DETROIT'S WATER AND SEWAGE DEPARTMENT. THIS INITIATIVE TO PLANT EXPANSIVE TREE STANDS IN AREAS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO STORM-WATER RUNOFF IS NOT ONLY A GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN, IT PROVIDES EXCELLENT LONG-TERM ECONOMIC BENEFIT AND BEAUTIFIES THE NEIGHBORHOODS. IN ADDITION, THE GREENING IS WORKING TO TRANSFORM VACANT LAND THROUGHOUT THE CITY INTO GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE. WORK HAS BEGUN ON 10 MICHIGAN LAND BANK-OWNED PROPERTIES IN THE CODY ROUGE NEIGHBORHOOD. WE HOPE TO BEAUTIFY THE NEIGHBORHOOD, CREATE SAFER FEELING SPACES, AND HELP RAISE PROPERTY VALUES.IN ITS SECOND YEAR, THE CITIZEN FORESTER PROGRAM TRAINED A RECORD 61 INDIVIDUALS ON HOW TO PROPERLY PLANT TREES SO THEY COULD ASSIST GREENING FORESTERS AT TREE PLANTING EVENTS. THESE UNIQUE AND SPECIALIZED VOLUNTEERS WERE TRAINED IN VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, TREE IDENTIFICATION AND TREE MAINTENANCE. 1252158 443284 WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT - IN 2012, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN SOME AREAS OF DETROIT WAS WELL OVER 30%. RISING TO MEET THIS NEED, THE GREENING ESTABLISHED ITS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT - ONE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S NEWEST AND FASTEST GROWING DEPARTMENTS - TO PROVIDE JOB TRAINING FOR UNEMPLOYED DETROIT RESIDENTS. TO DATE, ABOUT 200 PARTICIPANTS HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE TRAINING AND APPROXIMATELY 70% HAVE LANDED EMPLOYMENT. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2012, WE ALSO EMPLOYED 233 DETROIT TEENS WHO MAINTAINED 220 PUBLIC GREEN SPACES AND COMPLETED 15 CONSERVATION PROJECTS CITYWIDE. STUDENTS LEARN JOB RESPONSIBILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. 1422429 287070 URBAN AGRICULTURE - IN 2012 4,915 ADULTS AND 10,276 YOUTH GARDENERS PARTICIPATED IN URBAN AGRICULTURE PROGRAMS, HELPING TO TRANSFORM APPROXIMATELY 135 ACRES OF THE CITY'S LAND INTO 857 FAMILY GARDENS, 64 SCHOOL GARDENS, 424 COMMUNITY GARDENS AND 48 MARKET GARDENS, RESULTING IN NEARLY 160 TONS OF LOCALLY GROWN FOOD. IN ADDITION, 2012 WAS AN EXCITING YEAR AT THE FARM SITES MANAGED BY THE GREENING OF DETROIT, THE DETROIT MARKET GARDEN BEGAN ITS FIRST SEASON OF PRODUCTION AND THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ADDED 1/3 ACRE IN OUTDOOR PRODUCTION SPACE, AS WELL AS A NEW HERB GARDEN AND APIARY. COMMUNITY EDUCATION - IN 2012, THE OUR LAND PROGRAM WORKED WITH DETROIT STUDENTS TO ADOPT A PORTION OF ROUGE PARK TO EXPLORE AND LEARN ABOUT THEIR ENVIRONMENT THROUGH CLASSROOM LESSONS, HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES AND FIELD TRIPS TO THE PARK. TWO DETROIT SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED AS A PILOT PROJECT, NEINAS AND PRIEST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, HELPING TO STRENGTHEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT WHILE THEY BUILD CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE PARK AND PLANTS IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD AND SCHOOL COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, THE ORGANIZATION HOSTED ITS CAMP GREENING WHERE 656 CAMPERS, LEARNED HOW TO EXPLORE THE ENVIRONMENT IN A FUN AND SAFE SETTING, WITH ALL THE EXCITEMENT OF A TRADITIONAL SUMMER CAMP. FINALLY, 53 EDUCATORS FROM 31 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED IN OUR TEACHER TRAINING WORKSHOPS. PARTICIPANTS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN THEIR GREEN THUMBS, LEARN FOUNDATIONAL NUTRITION CONCEPTS AND HOW TO USE THE GREENING'S GARDENING AND NUTRITION EDUCATION CURRICULUM IN THEIR OWN CLASSROOMS. VOLUNTEER SUPPORT - THE GREENING OF DETROIT'S WORK WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE HELP OF OUR VOLUNTEERS. THIS YEAR, THE GREENING CREATED A YEAR-ROUND VOLUNTEER SCHEDULE ENCOURAGING RESIDENTS, CORPORATE GROUPS, FAITH-BASED GROUPS, COLLEGE STUDENTS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EACH WEEK TO PARTICIPATE IN PLANTING A GREENER CITY.
