Grand Valley is supporting an initiative to increase the number of
trees in the City of Grand Rapids.
Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss' Greening Initiative aims to
have a tree canopy of 40 percent; the current canopy cover is 34.6 percent.
A kick-off to the initiative took place on the Pew Grand Rapids
