The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is accepting applications for Wisconsin Urban Forestry Catastrophic Storm Grants.
This round of funding became available when Gov. Tony Evers declared a state of emergency June 28 due to recent severe weather events across Wisconsin.
The grant program will make 20% of its unallocated annual funds available to aid eligible applicants, including Wisconsin municipalities, counties, tribal governments and nonprofit organizations. Grants range from $4,000-$50,000 and do not require a dollar-for-dollar match.
Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. Aug. 27.
The grant program funds tree repair, removal or replacement within urban areas for which the governor has declared a state of emergency.
A catastrophic storm is defined as damage to urban forests caused by snow, ice, hail, wind or tornado.
