Urban Forest Resilience Grant Program

The State Urban Forest Resilience Grant Program supports efforts to restore and improve urban forests lost due to catastrophic losses from Emerald Ash Borer and other pests and diseases, while building resiliency through tree diversity and the protection of existing trees. Funds can be used for management and reforestation, including tree planting and tree removals.

This grant program is currently closed – DEEP anticipates reopening this program in Summer 2026. Check back for updates, reach out to deep.ucf.grants@ct.gov for more information.
