Reimbursable grants to buy and plant trees on publicly owned land in Iowa, including parks and school grounds. Governments, schools and volunteer or service organizations can apply, and planted trees can add natural shade near a playground.

Could a playground win this?

Possible fit Medium confidence

This grant pays only for trees, not play equipment, but shade trees around a playground in a public park or on public school grounds could qualify. The land must be publicly owned, and DNR land is not eligible.

The Community Forestry Grant Program provides reimbursable grants to be used to purchase and plant trees suitable to Iowa.

Qualifying public planting lands include, but are not limited to, street right-of-ways, parks, school grounds, courthouse lawns, public buildings, fairgrounds, cemeteries, libraries and trails.

Based on the funder's words, from iowadnr.gov (opens in a new tab). This is our read, not the funder's.

How to apply

  1. Confirm the planting site is publicly owned and not DNR land.
  2. Visit the Community Forestry Grant Program page on the Iowa DNR website for application details.
  3. Plan to pay for the trees first, since grants are reimbursable.
