In 2019, ReLeaf Michigan, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the St. Joseph River Basin Commission and Davey Resource Group, Inc. received a ​USDA Forest Service Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) grant to assist six communities in the St. Joseph River watershed. The grant provided funding to assess tree canopy in each community and identify ways to increase and improve tree canopy to intercept stormwater, reduce runoff, and improve water quality within the St. Joseph River watershed and the Great Lakes basin. This web-based report describes the findings of the assessments and provides community forest management recommendations for each community.
