The grants are federally funded through the USDA Forest Service's State and Private Forestry Program. Cost-share funds are available to local units of government, schools, tribal governments, and nonprofit entities [501(c)3)]. Grants require 1:1 matching funds toward projects performed on non-federal, public lands or lands open to the public. Grant awards will be distributed in November for projects to be completed by Sept. 1, 2010.

For more information, contact Kevin Sayers, DNR, Urban Forestry coordinator, at (517) 241-4632, or visit www.mi.gov/dnrucf.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, accessible use and enjoyment of the State's natural resources for current and future generations.
