PHOTO: This tree planting project in the Town of Delmar was funded by a Delaware Forest Service urban and community grant. DOVER, Del. Delaware’s Urban and Community Forestry Program is once again offering competitive matching grants up to $5,000 for tree planting or tree management projects on public land. The grants – open to municipalities, homeowner associations, and certified 501(c)(3) non-profits in the State of Delaware – require a 50-50 match in either cash (non-federal funds) or in-kind services, including volunteer or staff time, equipment rental, or supplies. Requests can range from $500 to a maximum of $5,000 in
one of two project categories: tree planting or tree management (i.e., professional tree inventory, hazardous tree removal, or pruning).
