DTE will notify residents via a phone call and a letter explaining that DTE will be in the area trimming trees starting in 2021. The first step in the process is to plan the work. If a resident is not at home when DTE is evaluating the residents’ property (“planning the work”), DTE will leave a door hanger with contact information for the property owner.

Here is a map of the proposed 2021 tree trimming area in Van Buren Township.
