The 2025 Community Forestry Grant Program, administered by the Texas A&M Forest Service Urban & Community Forestry Program, provides funding to support sustainable urban and community forestry programs across Texas. The goal of the program is to enhance the health, sustainability, and resilience of urban forests, recognizing their essential role in the economic, environmental, and social well-being of communities.

The grant program is open to public entities and nonprofit organizations, which can apply for funding to develop, improve, and maintain community forestry initiatives. Projects funded under this program aim to promote healthy urban forests, environmental sustainability, and community engagement in forestry management.

For 2025, the program offers over $12 million in funding across six grant categories. The grant application process requires applicants to review the Request for Proposals and Guidance Document, as well as complete the Application Worksheets and Survey 123 for final submission.

Proposals for the 2025 Community Forestry Grant Program must be submitted by February 14, 2025, at noon. Interested applicants are encouraged to subscribe to the program’s newsletter for updates, guidance, and additional resources.
