Trees Over Detroit

Arboretum Detroit logo

In order to restore harmony to our planet we need major changes in the relationships of people to the Earth & our neighboring species. This is especially vital for city people, as estranged as urban life can be from our neighbors, and so the vision of Arboretum Detroit, led by Birch Kemp & Kinga Osz-Kemp, is to knit together the community of trees & people in Detroit with “a quilt of protected forest that will safely mature in perpetuity for all Detroiters”.

Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Catholic, Hare Krishna, Buddhist, Earth-centered

Comments

This interview was so fun to do and very interesting to listen back to. Thanks for the opportunity for self reflection and the chance to share our story with others on our networks. I hope that others listened when we posted a link to the interview. Can't wait to catch you in the forest again, Mark. Also, enjoy "helping you meet" others who might be a good fit for your show. May the blessings of the trees settle on all like shade on a hot Summer day.
