Cullen Hall, right, 3, and his brother, Oliver Hall, 5, both of Sanford, Mich., carries buckets of mulch as they help plant trees 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.
