Illinois Community Canopy Tree Inventory and Management Plan Grants

IMG_2289

Trees Forever can work with your Illinois community to fund the completion of a tree inventory and management plan!

A community tree inventory is the basis for managing urban canopy and will guide your town through the decision-making process and help you address issues discovered during the inventory.  
 
Communities awarded these competitive grants will use the funding to pay for an inventory and management plan by a certified professional. Completing an inventory and management plan earns a community the opportunity to apply for an additional tree planting grant.
