5 Million in Committed Grants and Initiatives To Support Forestry Since 2021 Urban and Community Forestry Grant Program Incorporates New Technology for Tree Inventories and Assessments Enhances Capacity of Communities To Contribute to New York’s 25 Million Trees Initiative Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that $10 million in funding is now available to support urban and community forestry management projects for enhanced environmental quality, increased tree health and diversity, and climate mitigation.
The grant opportunity is available to municipalities, not-for-profit organizations, Indian Nations and Tribes, and other community-based organizations through the State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Urban and Community Forestry Grant Program. “We recognize how essential urban and community forests are to the health and well-being of our neighborhoods,” Governor Hochul said.
“With this latest $10 million investment, our State is empowering communities with the tools to better understand, manage, and grow their tree resources to build stronger, more resilient neighborhoods and deliver on our commitment to environmental justice for all New Yorkers. ” Since 2021, New York committed more than $116.
5 million to tree and forest-related projects, including $41 million to urban and community forests, $61 million for tree nurseries and forest-based markets, and $7. 5 million for forest health and reforestation. Funding is primarily awarded through the State’s Environmental Protection Fund.
New York also saw an influx of federal funding into urban forestry during this time, with an additional $73. 5 million granted directly to non-governmental organizations and local governments through the Inflation Reduction Act under the Biden Administration.
Eligible projects for the latest round of DEC’s Urban and Community Forest (UCF) grant program include: Traditional street and landscaped park tree inventory and assessment, Street tree and landscaped park tree inventory and assessment using terrestrial LiDAR, Forested natural areas inventory and assessment, and Management plans based on inventory and assessment data.
The assessment of forested natural areas and projects using ground-based remote sensing technologies are new opportunities in this round of UCF grants. Applicants may use advanced tools such as terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to capture highly detailed, 3D digital representations of street and landscaped park trees.
These cutting-edge technologies can complement existing field-based data and improve the speed and efficiency of inventories and assessments, enabling communities to better understand and manage their community trees.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Amanda Lefton said, “Today’s $10 million opportunity underscores Governor Hochul and DEC’s ongoing commitment to protecting and expanding the State’s urban tree canopy and celebrating the vital role trees play in our communities. Tree inventories are a critical first step in building healthier, more resilient urban forests.
By supporting the use of new technology and assessment methods, this round of funding will help communities make data-driven decisions to support resiliency and maximize the benefits of their green infrastructure. ” There is no match requirement for this grant. Applicants may apply for a minimum of $50,000 up to a maximum of $2.

The North American Wetlands Conservation Act funds wetland and migratory-bird habitat through two tracks — U.S. Small Grants (up to $250,000, closing June 25, 2026) and the larger U.S. Standard Grants. Both require a 1:1 non-federal match, and that match is where most applications are won or lost. Here is how the program works, who is eligible, and why land trusts and Tribes should care.
Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
