See How You Can Best Prepare for Grant Ready Opportunities
Developing Grant Ready Projects
Now is the time to start outlining the projects and identifying areas that will meet the funding priorities for benefiting underserved, low-canopy communities. Organizations will be more successful applying for funding when they have data on current tree conditions, canopy coverage, priority planting areas, or are applying for projects that provide that data.

Here are some examples of our services that align with the priorities of the federal urban forestry funding.
Urban Tree Canopy Assessments
Urban tree canopy assessments give communities a vantage point to correlate the urban forest with a range of environmental and socioeconomic indicators, leading to carefully prioritized tree planting and outcome tracking.
Public Tree Inventories
An ideal target for grant funding, it is a lot easier to manage trees when you know their quantity and quality. Tree inventory data helps cities prioritize maintenance, track work records, and calculate the precise ecosystem benefits of their trees.
Urban Forest Plans
Municipalities looking for new ways to use funds should create or update their urban forest management /master plans (UFMPs). A UFMP looks to the future, asking what kind of urban forest a community would like to see and envisioning the actions, goals, policies, and metrics to get there.
