We are thrilled to announce the six recipients of the Community Tree Fund mini-grant program. These grants are made possible by a generous donation from the Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) and are intended to support small-scale plantings in public spaces to increase access to the benefits of trees.
This year's recipients are:
- The Town of Brattleboro
- The Town of Barnard
- The Town of Montgomery
- The Town of Newbury
- The Town of Rockingham
- Step Out VT, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women transitioning from addiction, incarceration, and trafficking
We are so pleased to be able to support these projects, and stay tuned for highlights from spring tree plantings!
Thank you to VELCO for the generous sponsorship. If you are interested in exploring a sponsorship with the Vermont Urban & Community Forestry Program, visit this page.
