Preserving Our Trees
Starts With You
Promoting tree appreciation & the protection of our tree canopy
Northville Tree Champions is a non-profit 501(c)(3), citizen-led organization that promotes tree appreciation, protection, preservation and new tree plantings in Northville City and Township, Michigan. We do so through education in the care of trees, supporting tree planting and safeguarding established trees in our community.
Our mission
Why trees?
Trees cool urban landscapes by shading and releasing water vapor, which minimize heat absorption by buildings, roads and surrounding areas. Strategically planting and preserving trees can also cool homes in warmer seasons , reducing the use of air conditioning.
cooling effect
Trees are steadfast guardians of our planet's air quality. They silently purify the air through photosynthesis, absorbing CO2 and releasing oxygen. Trees also filter dust and harmful gases, reduce energy demands, and create a calming environment. They play a vital role in cleaning our air for a healthier future.

Trees are vital for animals, providing homes, protection, food and shelter. Additionally, trees attract pollinators and stabilize soil, benefiting both plants and animals. Preserving and planting trees is crucial for safeguarding nature and supporting animal species.
support wildlife
enhance community
Trees add character and charm to communities with their lush foliage, and vibrant colors. Studies show trees can enhance property values 7% - 15%. They bring tranquility, create a welcoming atmosphere, foster a deep connection with nature and elevate the overall appeal of a community.
Events & More
This tree carving commemorates the giant elm that once towered above the city green space behind Northville District Library at the Corner of Wing St. & Cady St. Carvings spiraling around the trunk tell the history of Northville. Learn more about how it all came about here.
