Grant requests range from $1,000 to $5,000 and must be matched equally with non-federal cash; a $1,000 request needs at least $1,000 in local cash for a $2,000 project. Up to 20 percent of the local match may go toward shrubs, and mulch, protective fencing, staking and irrigation can count toward project cost. Payments are reimbursements after the project is completed and documented with photos.","eligibility":"Projects must involve volunteers (examples given include FFA chapters, 4-H clubs, Master Gardeners, garden clubs, tree boards and civic or non-profit groups), be on nonfederal publicly owned property such as gateways, greenways, urban riparian areas or public rights-of-way, and not already be funded. Trees must be single-stem, at least 1.5 inches in caliper (evergreens at least 4 feet tall) and meet ANSI Z60.1-2014 nursery stock standards, with at least five years of maintenance by a named person or agency.","how_to_apply":"Submit the one-page fillable PDF application from the grant page with 'before' site photos; successful applicants sign a sub-recipient agreement and submit a Project Report/Request for Payment with photos.
