Diminished Tree Species Grant

The Oak Hill Fund’s Diminished Tree Species Grant Program aims to restore native tree species in the continental United States, recognizing their crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and forest ecosystem health. The program supports nonprofit organizations engaged in the following efforts:

• Active restoration of diminished forest species, such as Eastern Hemlock, Balsam Fir, American Chestnut, and Longleaf Pine.
• Protection of native tree habitats through forest land preservation, including property easements and the creation of newly preserved lands via state or federal acquisition.
• Science-based research, seed orchard development, and other associated expenses involved in species restoration.
