TREE is a competitive, cost-share tree care program administered by the Department of Forestry and Fire Management’s Urban and Community Forestry Program in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service State and private forestry program.
Projects eligible for TREE funding include tree planting to reach canopy cover goals, tree inventory, removal or pruning of hazardous trees, tree ordinance review/ development, and training of volunteers and city/county employees to best care for the community forests.
The TREE Grants are to be used to promote and enhance the quality of Arizona’s urban and community forests, and may also be used for engaging decision makers through urban forest management initiatives. The goals of this funding program are:
- To assist recognized Arizona Tree Cities and Tree Campuses in initiating or significantly improving their efforts to care for the community forest, including assistance for achieving canopy cover goals.
- To encourage recognized Tree Cities and Tree Campuses to develop and maintain a sustainable, balanced, and comprehensive community forestry program that is based on a current tree inventory and managed with the guidance of a community forestry professional.
- To promote community forestry benefits through the proper management and care of trees in Arizona’s recognized Tree City and Tree Campus communities. “Care” does include harvesting programs.
Funding Information
