Applications are open for grants to fund urban forestry projects throughout Indiana.
Projects fundable through these grants include but are not limited to tree planting, tree inventories with management plans, urban tree canopy assessments, and storm response planning. Funds are awarded on a reimbursable basis, and a 1:1 match is required.
Administered by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Forestry's Community & Urban Forestry program, the funding is available through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service Urban & Community Forestry program.
There are three different grant opportunities available. Applicants may apply for more than one grant but receiving funding for one or more grant opportunities is not guaranteed.
All application materials are available for download at on.IN.gov/cuf by clicking on CUF grants at the top of the page. Applications are due Oct. 23. Funding announcements will be made in November.
Additional information is available from Jacob Roos, community and urban forestry director, DNR Division of Forestry, 317-234-4386, [email protected].
