Description
The Mini Urban Trees Grant Program supports small tree planting projects in underserved urban areas of Maryland. The initiative aims to enhance livability by improving air quality, providing shaded areas, and promoting mental and physical health. The program empowers disenfranchised communities with the tools needed to improve access to natural resources, fostering a healthier and greener environment for current and future generations. Applicants can request up to $5,000, and while matching funds are encouraged, they are not required. Projects should occur in urban areas with low median household income levels, high unemployment, and historically red-lined neighborhoods.
