The National Arbor Day Foundation, doing business as The Arbor Day Foundation, received a $50,000,000.00 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program (CFDA 10.727). The grant supports nationwide urban forestry initiatives focused on environmental justice in disadvantaged communities, such as planning, establishing, managing, and protecting trees, forests, green spaces, and related natural resources. Key activities include tree planting, ecosystem restoration, conservation planning, workforce development, and educational outreach to increase tree canopy cover in underserved urban, rural, and indigenous areas. Through federal grant sub-awards, the Arbor Day Foundation is working with various local government entities, non-profit organizations, and educational institutions to implement these urban forestry projects and services across the United States.
