The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $1,500,000.00 Cooperative Agreement to the National Arbor Day Foundation (doing business as The Arbor Day Foundation) under the Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program (CFDA 10.727). This 5-year award, effective June 28, 2024, supports the Arbor Day Foundation's Spatial Accomplishment Reporting System project. Through this project, the non-profit organization will deliver a range of services, including urban forestry initiatives, environmental education programs, and leadership development retreats, focused on increasing tree canopy cover and improving community environmental conditions, with a particular emphasis on advancing environmental justice in disadvantaged areas. The Arbor Day Foundation also acts as a sub-grantee, participating in additional state-level urban forestry and environmental stewardship programs funded by the USDA Forest Service.
