This year, for the first time, we have the opportunity to direct our tree donations to a specific project. Through the Arbor Day Foundation, our trees will be planted in Northern Michigan as part of the Michigan State Forest and Good Neighbor Authority Reforestation project.
Eenhoorn has partnered with The Arbor Day Foundation to help plant five trees for every approved apartment application. Since our partnership began in 2021, our donations have made it possible to plant 30,000 trees nationally. By utilizing local planting partners, The Arbor Day Foundation is able to make a greater impact in more protected areas and communities.
A ribbon cutting took place Tuesday, Dec. 9, to commemorate the grand opening of Carlton Lofts, a new housing and social services hub in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This groundbreaking initiative to address the needs of the unhoused represents the collaboration of property management and investment firm Eenhoorn LLC and Community Rebuilders. The development is located at 1450 E Fulton Street, location of the former Van Andel Pavilion at Fulton Manor, which has been transformed by Eenhoorn into a supportive living environment, and will welcome its first residents in January 2025.
Now in its fourth successful year, the Eenhoorn community garden program continues to thrive, offering residents a unique opportunity to connect with nature and their neighbors.
Each year, the Eenhoorn team participates in community outreach events for National Outreach week. Though we are spread across the United States and the Netherlands, we all come together to give back in a tangible way.
