(Des Moines) The popular Trees for Kids grant program accepts applications through March 4.
Grants up to $2,500 cover the cost of trees and mulch. All trees for this program must be planted on public property and involve youth with the planting process.
The following counties align with federal grant requirements and will receive first preference: Cass, Freemont, Mills, Montgomery, Page, and Pottawattamie, but all applications are welcome from across the state. Additionally, the DNR awards grants outside of these priority counties.
To apply for the grant, visit www.iowadnr.gov/Conservation/Forestry/Educational-Opportunities.
