Urban Forest Resilience Grant Program

With support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, CT DEEP’s Urban and Community Forestry (UCF) Program is offering funding to support the removal of dead, declining, or hazardous trees and replanting to restore tree cover and improve long-term forest health.

Additional Information:
Eligible activities include: 1) Removal of dead, hazardous, or declining trees; 2) Stump removal and site preparation; 3) Tree planting to meet the required 1:2 replacement ratio. Projects must demonstrate how removals will restore forest health and contribute to long-term, measurable canopy gains in low-canopy communities. Total funding of $230,000 is available for CT municipalities with membership in the Tree Wardens' Association of Connecticut.
