The deadline to apply for urban forestry grants administered by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Forestry's Community & Urban Forestry program is Sept. 11. The funding is available through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service Urban & Community Forestry program.
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.
There are two 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 September 11. Funding announcements will be made in October.
Additional information is available from Racheal Stenger, community and urban forestry outreach coordinator, DNR Division of Forestry, 317-234-6741, rstenger@dnr.IN.gov.
