Through funds from the USFS Chesapeake Watershed Forestry Program, and Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation,
VDOF has developed a Virginia Trees for Clean Water program which is designed to improve water quality by planting riparian buffers and trees in our neighborhoods and communities.
Potential
projects funded under the program include tree planting activities of
all types such as riparian buffer or community and neighborhood tree
plantings. Winning proposals should
demonstrate the merit of the project and long-term tree maintenance
must be considered. Funding is available on a 50/50 match basis and
in-kind match including volunteer time is permissible.
Grants are awarded through this program to encourage local government and citizen involvement in creating and supporting
long-term and sustained canopy cover. All applications are due
by 5:00 pm on Thursday February 16, 2017.
