About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $15,000,000 Project Grant to The Morton Arboretum under the Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program (CFDA 10.727). The grant, awarded on April 10, 2024, will fund a 5-year project to plan, establish, manage, and protect trees, forests, green spaces, and related natural resources in underserved urban and community settings across Illinois. Key activities will include tree planting, ecosystem restoration, conservation planning, workforce development, and educational outreach to increase tree canopy cover and provide ecosystem services, social benefits, and economic advantages to disadvantaged communities. As a non-profit organization with extensive experience administering federal grants, The Morton Arboretum will likely leverage partnerships with local community groups to ensure the project's benefits reach the target populations.
