Key Dates for the City's Forestry Grant

City of Montgomery will be awarded $1M of federal funds for its proposal: Equitable Urban Tree Canopy Enhancement for Underserved Populations in Montgomery, Alabama

The City expects to receive funding on this date and will begin additional planting and pruning work starting in August.

The City seeks detailed feedback from residents in its Community Tree Survey to help the Urban Forestry Division Prioritize efforts to plant new trees and carry out pruning to reduce tree-related hazards in public right of way areas.

This will be the last day to provide feedback in the Community Tree Survey. Results will be analyzed shortly thereafter and used in Urban Forestry Division's work plan.

Representatives from the City's Urban Forestry Division will have a public open house to talk with members of the community about early grant program progress, how community members can get involved, and how to report tree canopy issues to the City.

Urban Forestry Staff will carry out more in-person community engagement and feedback sessions at Audubon Park. This will include a demonstration of tree planting and tree pruning.
