The Metro: Enjoy ‘Art in the Trees’ at Palmer Park in celebration of Earth Day
The city of Detroit has a lot of concrete streets, slabs of road and old industrial buildings.
But green spaces like Palmer Park provide an outlet to connect with nature. The park is home to one of the city’s old growth forests with diverse plant and animal life.
And it’s just one of many spaces in Detroit hosting Earth Day celebrations and events this week to inspire environmental awareness and encourage community involvement.
On Sunday, the park will host Art in the Trees, an outdoor art exhibition among the trees in Palmer Park’s old growth forest featuring large-scale sculptures, music, activities and more.
Event organizer Mark Loeb joined The Metro on Earth Day to share more about the event.
