Urban and Community Grant Opportunities

Oklahoma Department of Transportation Tree Grants       

For more information on the ODOT Tree Grant please visit ODOT Beautification.

These grants, made possible by the 2008 Farm Bill, provide funds on a competitive basis to enable Oklahoma to participate in the President's urban and community forestry assistance program.  The goals of the program are to improve the understanding of the benefits of urban trees, increase the amount of canopy cover, and provide educational and technical guidance to plan, maintain, and improve our urban and community forests.   

The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Services, in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service is offering assistance to communities in the development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans and Firewise Plans. These plans are wildfire mitigation plans that help communities develop actions that will reduce the loss of property in their communities.
