TreeVitalize Municipalities: MUNICIPAL FORESTRY INCENTIVE GRANT
|
As part of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and
Natural Resources’ TreeVitalize Municipalities
Program, incentive grants are being offered to encourage municipalities
to cross boundaries and work together to include tree cover
in their planning and budgeting. A total of $25,000 in grant
money is available to each of four Southeast PA counties: Bucks,
Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery.
Applications are welcomed from local governments or business improvement districts in the four counties listed above. Priority consideration will be given to applications supporting multi-municipal forestry management projects.
|
A total of up to $25,000 will be awarded in each of the four
counties from this grant program. TreeVitalize Municipalities
will not fund the purchase of machinery
or equipment (rental of equipment for certain purposes will
be considered), the purchase or improvement of capital assets,
construction or demolition of structures, or projects that do
not address tree management. If grant requests exceed the amount
of funding available from this grant program, TreeVitalize
Municipalities will attempt to help find other sources
of funding for worthy projects. |
Mail, fax, or email application by January 15, 2007.
The successful applicants will be notified and funds made available
in February. |

| The Environmental Challenge Fund |
The Fund seeks to support restoration, natural resource enhancement,
and wildlife habitat improvement projects, that are concrete
in nature and for which the planning has already been completed.
Awards are made on the basis of direct environmental benefits;
certain educational aspects and recreational features that are
essential to the overall success of the project may also be
considered for funding. If the proposed project will spawn new
ideas/approaches or lead to additional activities or projects
this information should also be reflected in your responses. |
From $500 to $5,000. An initial payment of 75% of the grant
is funded with the remaining 25% paid upon proof of project
completion
