Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission: Community Application Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission NIRPC is currently accepting applications for the Fall 2026 planting season through the CommuniTree-Community Tree Grant Program. The CommuniTree program partners are happy to coordinate with anyone interested in applying this spring to help with their planting plans and applications.
Eligibility In most cases, trees must be planted in public spaces such as parks, schools, churches and along public roadway easements within northwest Indiana’s Lake Michigan Watershed ( MAP ). If no public spaces are available, trees can be planted on private property. Restrictions apply and applicants considering this must coordinate with NIRPC and its CommuniTree partners prior to submitting an application.
Eligible applicants include public entities, such as municipalities, schools, churches, and conservation, community or service organizations. Tree Maintenance Agreement The first three years following planting are critical to the tree’s establishment and long-term health. Applicants receiving trees must agree to at least a two-year watering program.
The trees generally need to be watered weekly with, 5-15 gallons per tree throughout the growing season. Drought conditions may require a third year of watering. Two to four inches of mulch needs to be properly applied at planting and checked each year.

USDA Forest Service Tree Owner’s Manual Tree Inventory Agreement Tree recipients are required to inventory the trees they receive and plant. NIRPC’s GIS-based survey can be completed in the field during tree planting using a smartphone with GPS tracking enabled.
The survey typically takes less than one minute to complete per tree if done at the time of planting. Information collected includes organization name, tree species, nursery, and planting year. The data will be used to create an online map showing planting locations and species.
Training will be available on how to complete the survey. Timeline Application due date: Friday, July 27, 2026 *In Spring 2026, NIRPC saw a shortage of available species from our approved nurseries. The sooner you submit your application, the more likely we will be able to source your requested species!
