Over the summer, intern Lila Turner explored the impact of VT UCF's grants on the landscape and in communities since the program was established in 1991. Over 1,000 individual grants have supported tree planting, tree maintenance, planning, outreach, and other efforts to create and sustain healthy urban forests in over 190 Vermont communities to the tune of over $3,000,000.
We are pleased to announce our 2025 grants program. $119k will be available in Tree Maintenance & Removal Grants and $315k will be available in Community Tree Planting Grants, offered in partnership with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission.
This summer with UCF was spent working on many projects, from completing literature reviews and creating Excel templates to helping municipalities manage their street trees in the face of Emerald Ash Borer.
