The Chesapeake Bay Trust and 5 Million Trees for Maryland are excited to announce that the Urban Trees Grant Program is now open! The Trust will hold an information session on Friday 2/13/26 to provide an overview of the grant and the NEW opportunity to request free trees from underrepresented native species, and the application process, with time to answer questions.
Register to attend a virtual information session: Friday 2/13/26 at 12pm.
The Urban Trees Grant Program, called for by the Maryland General Assembly as a component of a 5,000,000-tree goal by 2031, welcomes requests for tree planting projects in urban underserved communities. The goal of the Urban Trees Grant Program is to green communities; enhance quality of life, human health, and community livability by improving air quality, and reducing urban heat island effect; and mitigate some of the effects of climate change.
Application Deadline: March 5, 2026, at 4pm ET.
