Apply Now: Urban Trees Grant Program (United States)

Deadline: 06-Mar-2025

The Chesapeake Bay Trust is pleased to announce the Urban Trees Grant Program to green communities; enhance quality of life, human health, and community livability by improving air quality, and reducing urban heat island effect; and mitigating the effects of climate change.

The Urban Trees Grant Program is part of a legislative agenda passed by the Maryland General Assembly to achieve 5,000,000 trees by 2031.

Projects selected for funding must be fully or significantly focused on planting of trees (defined as “implementation”). Section 8–1911 of the Natural Resources Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland allows funds to be used for planning to support the implementation phase and a maintenance phase in addition to implementation. The Trust requires implementation and maintenance phases to be part of all requests to be eligible for funding.

Projects may include other components, such as workforce development activities, but the tangible result of projects selected for funding must be measurable trees in the ground.
