Few can deny that fall is about the prettiest time of year. From rural communities to big city streets, the changing hues remind us how lovely it is to live amongst the trees. As the autumn air swirled around in 2020, Green Macomb wanted to know where is Macomb County’s prettiest tree?

More than 100 photos of fall foliage were snapped and showcased on social media so that everyone could help determine the most tree-tastic local spot. The contest offered two baskets featuring specially selected “Made in Macomb” products - one for the most liked photo and one for correctly guessing the type of tree photographed.

The Green Macomb initiative was created by the Macomb County Department of Planning & Economic Development to support green infrastructure efforts that strengthen the economic vitality, quality of life, and environmental well-being of the region. Green Macomb has a goal of increasing our county’s tree canopy to 40%.
