2008 Tree Planting Grants Available
American Forests in search of tree planting projects
Global ReLeaf, a program of American Forests the nation’s oldest
nonprofit citizens’ conservation organization (www.americanforests.org),
is offering annual grants towards tree planting projects. Currently we
are accepting tree planting project proposals for 2008. American
Forests’ mission is to grow a healthier world. Global ReLeaf is American
Forests' education and action program that helps individuals,
organizations, agencies, and corporations improve the local and global
environment by planting and caring for trees. Since it’s creation in
1988 the program has supported plantings of over 25 million trees
worldwide.
The Global ReLeaf grant program provides private dollars to support
local reforestation efforts and help match other funding sources.
American Forests raises a dollar for every tree planted with Global
ReLeaf. The dollars fund the reforestation projects. Competitive grant
requests must maximize the use of total project funds per tree planted.
Grants are available to support rural seedling projects restoring
damaged forest ecosystems. Further information regarding Global ReLeaf
Grants including application forms and criteria can be found at:

Please forward this grant opportunity to all those partners planning
2008 plantings. Deadlines for grant proposals are January 15th and July
1st. If you have any questions regarding grant specifics or plan on
applying for funds please contact Margo Dawley 202-737-1944 x224

American Forests’ mission is to grow a healthier world with trees.
