Trees for Schools Grants Webinar

Register

Calling on municipal green teams, Environmental Commissions, and Shade Tree Commissions and Committees: Please encourage and support your school district to take advantage of a new grant opportunity that will benefit the whole community! (Think cooling shade, neighborhood beautification, air and water filtration, stormwater runoff reduction, and climate change mitigation).

We are pleased to announce the Trees for Schools: Tree-planting Grants for New Jersey Public Schools, Colleges and Universities program. The Trees for Schools program will provide $2.5 million in grants to New Jersey public school districts, colleges and universities to support planting and maintaining trees on school grounds and campuses across the state. Primary grant awards will range from a minimum $10,000 to maximum $250,000, and supplemental grant awards of up to an additional $250,000 will also be awarded contingent upon the availability of funds.

Applications are due July 13, 2023. Learn more about the Trees for Schools program via the webpage here.

This webinar will provide an overview of the program; information on the importance and benefits of tree-planting; guidance on how to select an appropriate site and develop a preliminary planting plan; an overview of the application process and requirements; a walk-through of the online portal; and an opportunity to ask questions.
