This $3,000,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service under the Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program (CFDA 10.727) will support the City of Detroit's "Resilient Tree Canopy Initiative". The grant, awarded on August 13, 2024, aims to plan, establish, manage, and protect trees, forests, green spaces, and related natural resources in the Detroit metropolitan area. Key objectives include providing ecosystem services, social benefits, and economic advantages to the local community, with a focus on advancing environmental justice in underserved neighborhoods. The 5-year initiative will run through April 30, 2029 and involve comprehensive urban forestry efforts such as tree planting, ecosystem restoration, conservation planning, workforce development, and educational outreach to increase Detroit's urban tree canopy and improve environmental conditions.
