Volunteers gathered Saturday to plant 500 trees along the vacant Water Street property in Ypsilanti.
The event was scheduled to fall before Earth Day on Sunday and the city of Ypsilanti partnered with ReLeaf Michigan, a nonprofit tree organization, to help recruit and train volunteers to help plant and tend the nursery.
The nursery can be accessed at the intersection of Park Street and South Street, off of Michigan Avenue, or by crossing the pedestrian bridge on the Water Street trail. Parking is available down side streets and also at the Water Street park.
AnnArbor.com staff photographer Courtney Sacco was there to capture these images.
