ANN ARBOR, MI — Tree Town is moving forward with its next big round of tree plantings.

The Ann Arbor City Council voted unanimously Monday night, Oct. 6, to approve a roughly $476,000 contract with the Margolis Nursery to plant 1,000 trees along city streets.

They will be planted this fall and next spring in areas identified in the city’s 2025-26 tree planting plan, including just north of downtown and several other neighborhoods throughout the city highlighted in pink on the map.
