Trees Forever opens funding to derecho affected communities
Funding is now available to derecho affected communities in Iowa and Illinois through a new grant program called Planting Hope, led by Trees Forever. Funding up to $5,000 will be awarded for tree planting and distribution projects, and will assist in replanting areas that saw major canopy loss as a result of the August 2020 derecho. Applications for the grant round are due on April 1; following application rounds will end June 1 and Nov. 1. More information on applying is through Trees Forever’s website.
