Tree Tube Pick Up

Friends of the Rouge planted over 13,000 bare-root tree saplings along the Lower Rouge in Wayne County. Plastic tree tubes were installed with each tree to deter predators and increase survivability. It’s now time for us to clean up these protective tubes. We are excited to invite community members out into our community forests to clean these up with us, checking out all of the newly planted trees along the way!

While these tree tubes served an important purpose protecting our young trees, it’s equally important to now get that plastic out of our environment and let the saplings flourish.
