The MN DNR ReLeaf program grant offers funding to purchase and plant trees, provide staff time, and conduct community forestry education and outreach. The proposed grant funding will allow the city to hire a contractor to plant and care for additional trees over its typical quota of 200 per year. Additionally, funding will allow staff to develop an education and outreach program encouraging residents to volunteer to water sapling trees in their neighborhoods. | | |
