The PA Urban & Community Forestry Council’s new TreeVitalize Bare Root Tree Program aims to assist communities in Pennsylvania with increasing the tree canopy and commitment to urban and community forests.  The deadline for applications is December 10.

This program provides up to 20 large caliper bare root trees for planting on land owned by a municipality (streets and parks) or nonprofit organizations.

This program is specifically designed for those communities who were not awarded funding through the 2020 competitive TreeVitalize grant program -- previous grantees are welcome to apply.

Likewise, communities in Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties are not eligible to apply; but are encouraged to inquire about funding through the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy [Western PA] or the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society [Southeast PA].

Approved applicants will be notified of additional deadlines.

This program is being done in coordination with the PA Urban & Community Forestry Council.

Visit Council’s TreeVitalize Bare Root Tree Program webpage for all the details.
