A new connection for Pontiac! 🎉🌳🚲

Today, community partners gathered to celebrate the ribbon-cutting of the Clinton River Trail North Spur Extension, marking an exciting step forward for connectivity in Pontiac.

This extension brings the trail closer to downtown and creates more opportunities for residents and visitors to walk, bike, explore, and connect with the community.

Congratulations to the City of Pontiac, Michigan USA - Government, Friends of The Trail - Clinton River Trail, Oakland County, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Koala T Construction, and everyone who helped bring this long-awaited vision to life.

We’re proud to have played a part in a project that belongs to the entire Pontiac community. 💚

A healthier, greener Pontiac is taking root. 🌳💚

Decades of deferred tree maintenance can't be solved overnight, but the progress being made through Pontiac's Urban Forestry Grant is remarkable. From hundreds of trees being pruned to critical removals and a complete tree inventory, this effort is helping create a safer and more vibrant community.

Congratulations to the City of Pontiac, on this accomplishment and the continued investment in its neighborhoods.

Work associated with the Urban Forestry grant that Pontiac was awarded continues: 130 tree removals have been completed & over 770 trees have been pruned. Here’s the tree canopy on West Beverly after pruning. I think it looks great. We know we have decades of deferred (AKA almost none for decades) tree maintenance throughout our city, but this gets us a lot farther down the road for this need. The grant also got us a full tree inventory for our city, which prioritized which trees were too far gone and needed to be removed.

Last Friday, we celebrated the conclusion of our 2026 Internship Program with presentations and a farewell luncheon.

Summer internships are about more than gaining technical experience. They are about building relationships, learning from mentors, exploring career paths, and growing professionally. Our interns did all of that and more.

We're proud of the effort, curiosity, and positive attitudes they brought to NFE this summer. Thank you for spending part of your journey with us, and congratulations on a successful internship season!

Here are a few photos from the day as we celebrated their accomplishments.
