2025 Appeal Letter

Dear Friends of the Greenway,

We invite you to join us in continuing to preserve the beauty of the Moross Greenway, a true gem and gateway to our community. This urban oasis features one of the largest perennial gardens in Michigan, beautifully complemented by rotating sculptures from local artists.

As a volunteer-driven organization, 100% of your donation goes directly toward maintaining this vibrant corridor. Our annual landscaping and related garden expenses are $50,000, and your support is crucial in keeping this treasure thriving. 

And the rented sculptures showcased along the greenway are for sale and support local artists and our mission. 20% of the proceeds from sculpture sales is directed back to The Moross Greenway Project.

Please support us by clicking on the ‘Donate’ button above or by mailing a check to The Moross Greenway Project, PO Box 36989, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236. Every gift, large or small, helps ensure the Moross Greenway remains a source of pride and joy for our community and neighboring areas.

Thank you for being part of our story and for your generosity.

Best regards,

Ed Gotfredson
President

• Where: Parking lot of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church (Moross/@ Edgefield).

  The Moross Greenway Project is looking for volunteers for its annual Spring Clean-Up.

  Volunteers are asked to bring their own work gloves and dress for the weather. Boots are recommended as the islands may be wet. Trash bags/buckets, trash pickers and traffic safety vests will be provided.

  The volunteers will be focused on three main tasks:

  • Trash collection: Collecting litter along the seven greenway islands.

  • Light gardening: Please bring a trowel for weeding and/or a shovel for perennial dividing.

  • Daffodil planting: If you would like to plant bulbs please bring a shovel.

  Interested volunteers can sign-up online at our volunteer tab above or simply gather next to Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church at 21150 Moross at Edgefield. Parking is available in their lot. Board members will be available to guide volunteers and answer questions.
