Canton’s Village Tree Inventory Project is to receive $17,000 and Ogdensburg’s Downtown Gateway Tree Planting is due $12,000 in grants announced today by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
The aim of the program is to help protect air, water and natural resources, and enhance urban communities, according to DEC Commissioner Joe Martens.
“Urban forestry programs are vital to creating a vibrant environment that provides clean air, clean water, energy savings, robust habitats and a high quality of life for New Yorkers” by providing funding to expand the number of trees in areas that often have limited space,. The Martens said.
DEC selected award recipients from 145 applications, which were scored competitively. The total amount of grants announced today for projects statewide is $930,000.
