The city of Lansing has received a $5 million federal grant to plant trees in “disadvantaged” areas. One example is the Cherry Hill Neighborhood south of downtown abutting Interstate 496. This screenshot from a city mapping tool shows in red where the city wants to use some of the funds to improve Cherry Hill’s canopy. Cherry Hill is bounded by Kalamazoo Street on the top, Grand Avenue on the left and Cherry Hill Park and the Grand River on the right.

Amid the bounty of fall produce, we need recipes that incorporate many types of fresh ingredients, like this customizable harvest omelet.
It’s the time of year when all the produce is ready. Tomatoes, corn, squash, beans and other typical harvest crops are piling up in the fields and on farmers market tables, and even plants that petered out during the heat of summer, like spinach, lettuce and radishes, are back. All in all, it’s a great time to be hungry.
