We're celebrating a year of incredible park stewardship accomplishments, and we want YOU to join us in this epic celebration!
🌳 Championing Our Green Spaces - It's Your Backyard Too! 🌳
Our Backyard Detroit is all about empowering residents to take ownership of their public green spaces. We're inspired by the Bee Green In Your Backyard activity book, which led to the name of our fantastic initiative. Just like the name suggests, we consider all public-use green spaces as our very own backyard. In a bustling urban setting like Detroit, where many of us are apartment or condo renters, these parks become even more crucial for us to connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors. Our block party reinforces the idea that these beautiful green spaces are OURS to cherish and protect.
🌟 Celebrate Stewardship, Celebrate Change 🌟
Let's applaud the hard work and dedication of our park champions who have put their hearts and souls into maintaining and improving our local parks. This block party is a tribute to you, the champions of our community! Together, we've transformed our parks and created a positive impact that's visible in every corner of Detroit. Let's raise our glasses and toast to the change we've brought to our city.
