GW: Does anyone ever decline “free” money? Here’s another way to promote inflation…
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is accepting grant applications through Aug. 31 for the second round of the Urban and Community Forestry Inflation Reduction Act grant program.
Eligible organizations, city, village, township, county and tribal governments, state agencies, educational institutions and nonprofit organizations can apply for reimbursement grants of $10,000 to $225,000 to conduct urban forestry-related activities that occur in, serve or directly benefit disadvantaged areas in Michigan.
Projects must demonstrate inclusive public involvement and address community priorities such as local environmental justice and equity issues, climate change, tree health and resilience. Eligible projects must be completed by Sept. 1, 2026.
This program is made possible through funding provided by the USDA Forest Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
