Hantz Woodlands brings thousands of trees to hard-pressed Detroit neighborhoods

On May 7, 1,200 volunteers planted 3,150 six-foot sugar maples around the new learning laboratory of the Detroit Enterprise Academy, a K-8 public charter school.

The tree-planting campaign was the third in as many years for Hantz Woodlands, the brainchild of John Hantz, founder of Hantz Group, a financial services conglomerate.
