Michigan communities have an opportunity to help people connect to forests in towns and cities through grants from the DNR’s Urban and Community Forestry program.
“These grants support management, education, planting and awareness of community forests,” said program coordinator Kevin Sayers.
A total of up to $100,000 in federal grant funding is available. Applicants may request up to $20,000 in reimbursable, matching grant funds, based on project type. A one-to-one match is required and can be nonfederal cash and/or in-kind services.
Eligible applicants include local units of government, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments and other public entities located in Michigan. Applications are due by Sept. 30, 2020, and projects must be completed by Sept. 30, 2021.
