A plan to restore Palmer Park's old-growth forest

Detroit's Palmer Park has seen many improvements over the years, from renovated tennis and pickleball courts and a new dog park to a variety of habitat restoration projects. Now work is underway to maintain the park's 70 acres of old-growth forest. To discuss those efforts, we're joined by People for Palmer Park President Stacy Varner, and Bobbi Westerby — whose company is leading the restoration work. Also on The Metro, we catch up with the Detroit Documenters about possible changes to a permit for the Detroit Assembly Complex on Mack Avenue run by Stellantis.
