A sequoia forest in Detroit? Plantings to improve air quality and mark Earth Day
83% Informative
Detroit is the pilot city for the Giant Sequoia Filter Forest.
Giant sequoias are native to California ’s Sierra Nevada , where they are threatened by wildfires.
They can live for more than 3,000 years and are resilient against disease and insects.
The sequoia saplings are clones of two giants known as Stagg — world's fifth -largest tree.
The Detroit sequoias will grow near a heavily industrial area, a former incinerator and two interstates, Kemp says.
Kemp ’s nonprofit has already planted about 650 trees — comprising around 80 species — in some 40 lots in the area.
“Because these trees grow so fast, so large and they’ll do amazing work filtering the air here,” Kemp said.
