Amy Draybuck, right, 28, of Detroit, plants trees with others at a lot on Saturday, May 17, 2014 in Detroit. Volunteers planted one tree at a time, as an entrepreneur began turning a tumble-down neighborhood into an urban forest. John Hantz figures trees are better than blighted neighborhoods. His Woodlands project calls for eventually cleaning up 140 acres and knocking down 50 vacant homes in a city that has thousands. He believes agriculture and forestry can play an important role in Detroit, which hopes to emerge from bankruptcy this year. (AP Photo/Detroit Free Press, Todd McInturf) DETROIT NEWS OUT; NO SALES
