The Delaware Forest Service’s Urban and Community Grant Program has awarded more than $31,000 to fund nine community tree projects, including one in our area.
The program offers up to $5,000 in annual competitive matching grants for projects on public land and community open space, and grants are available to all municipalities, homeowner associations, and nonprofit organizations in the First State. The community of Forest Landing, located about three miles west of South Bethany, received $1,739 under the program.
