Washington’s communities have an opportunity to restore, enhance and sustain trees and forests in towns and cities through grants offered by Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Urban and Community Forestry Program (UCF). Community Forestry Assistance Grants are available to support a wide variety of projects and resources that will help create healthier communities. 

The purpose of this grant is to assist communities with planning and implementing projects that improve management, care, and public engagement with trees growing in parks, natural areas, and along public rights-of-way. The projects should also address social and environmental disparities in Washington communities by investing in community-identified urban forestry needs that advance environmental, social, or public health outcomes.
