“We breathe air exhaled from trees whose leaves are made of starlight… Our veins echo the patterns of rivers, branches, and root systems. We are not a part of Nature. We are Nature.” - Marysia Miernowska, Author

NASHVILLE — Communities can optimize the benefits of trees with funding from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Division of Forestry. Applications are now available for the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP) Community Tree Planting Program to increase and improve urban tree populations.

“The goal of the TAEP Community Tree Planting Program is to increase the urban tree canopy in cities and towns across Tennessee,” State Forester David Arnold said. “Healthy, structurally sound urban trees conserve energy, help prevent water pollution and soil erosion, beautify spaces, and can increase property value. I encourage all eligible groups to apply for funding to help their neighborhoods thrive.”

Eligible applicants include cities, local government agencies, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations, such as neighborhood associations, civic groups, and community volunteer tree groups. Awards range from $500 to $20,000 for approved projects.
