Tree Planting Grants are for the purchase and planting of one or more trees in the celebration of Arbor Day.
All communities are eligible for a $350 grant. Tree City USA communities are eligible for an $850 grant.

These are "tree-centric" grants, meaning trees and tree related materials are the only eligible purchases. These grants are awarded on a first-come basis to approved projects with a complete application until funds are depleted. We are no longer requiring proclamations for this application, we are still requiring a proposed date for your Arbor Day celebration. Matching funds are encouraged but not required.
One application per community will be accepted.
This opportunity is funded by the State of Montana - Natural Resources Operations Fund.
Eligible Organizations:
- City or Township Governments
- County Governments
- Tribal Governments
- Schools
- Non-profit organization representing a community
