The Texas A&M Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Program aims to work with communities to establish sustainable initiatives that ensure the health and vitality of trees and forests, recognizing their critical importance to economic, environmental, physical, and mental community well-being.
The purpose of this grant is to drive transformative placemaking projects in Texas’ most vulnerable communities through the strategic expansion of tree canopies. Community forestry-based placemaking involves integrating trees and green spaces into planning to create vibrant, functional, and meaningful community spaces. This approach harnesses the benefits of community forestry to enhance public spaces, address local needs such as excessive heat, all while fostering a sense of community. However, this grant will not only increase tree canopy coverage on public spaces, but also provide trees to residents, contributing to the expansion of tree canopy coverage in both public and private spaces. Recipients will equip residents with the knowledge and tools necessary for successful tree care. By combining the provision of trees with comprehensive support and training, the program aims to create enduring, positive impacts on community spaces and strengthen local environmental resilience.
