Staff reportsApplications for the 2020-21 Edmond Tree Grants program are now open. The program makes trees available for neighborhood groups and K-12 public schools or their associated parent-teacher organizations. Administered by the city of Edmond Urban Forestry Department, groups within Edmond city limits may apply to receive seedlings, 3-gallon, or 15-gallon containerized trees for planting within the areas they manage. A partnership between the city and the residents and schools, Edmond Tree Grant projects will enhance tree canopy within areas that are often not served through other Urban Forestry Department programs. “Trees are a valuable resource within the areas where people live and recreate, providing such benefits as improved air quality, cooler temperatures, UV ray protection, energy conservation, health benefits, beautification and higher property values,” said Leigh Martin, city of Edmond Urban Forestry Program specialist. The format of the program fosters community and provides education about proper tree care and planting practices, according to a news release.Read more on NewsOK.com
