TD Bank and the Arbor Day Foundation Grants Available
TD Bank and the Arbor Day Foundation have teamed up to offer municipalities $20,000-$25,000 grants for local forestry projects. These TD Green Space Grants will offer North American municipalities support for creative programs and projects that use green infrastructure development, tree planting, forestry stewardship, and community green space expansion as a way to advance environmental and economic benefits toward a low-carbon economy.
The 2020 theme for the program is, “Beat the Heat: Using Green Infrastructure to Cool Down Urban Heat Islands.”
Preference will be given to Tree City USA communities or those interested in becoming a Tree City USA community in 2020. Grant applications are being accepted until January 17, 2020.
