The TTUF team wanted to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pocket_forest\">pocket forest<\/a> within the city as a demonstration project and selected Buhr Park as a great potential location.  A special project application was submitted to the City of Ann Arbor Parks Department in late fall 2023 and received formal approval in the spring!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Site preparation of the 50&#8242; x 50&#8242; plot began in May 2024 and planting will take place in the fall.  In order to compare different preparation methods, the plot is divided into 3 sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>50&#8242; x 25&#8242; is deeply tilled with compost, leaves and wood chips mixed into the soil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25&#8242; x 25&#8242; is a layered bed, with water-soaked cardboard, 4 inches of compost + leaves, and 4 inches of wood chips on top of the grass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25&#8242; x 25&#8242; is just 4 inches of wood chips on top of the grass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When planted, the site will contain approximately 400 trees and shrubs of a variety of heights from 40 different native species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
