In these tumultuous times, some of our most powerful allies are rooted in place. Trees, especially those growing in our towns, cities, and village centers, are doing quiet but critical work. The Vermont Urban & Community Forestry Program remains steadfast in its mission: helping communities grow healthy trees and stronger connections, even when resources are stretched.
In a true act of community spirit, the Johnson Tree Board recently relocated a 10-year-old crabapple tree from the flood-prone grounds of the Johnson Public Library to a new home in the Johnson Arboretum.
We are pleased to announce the projects selected to receive 2025 Tree Maintenance & Removal Grants to support local efforts to maintain healthy urban tree canopy.
In partnership with the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission and funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, we are pleased to announce that 11 projects across 5 counties have been selected to receive a total of $315,000 for urban tree planting projects.
