Six groups get money to grow trees in your neighborhood Six organizations will receive grants totaling $138,025 between August 2026 and July 2027 to plant trees and maintain existing tree cover in Hennepin County.
More trees mean cooler streets and cleaner air over time Tree canopy work reduces urban heat, improves stormwater runoff, and creates habitat—effects that compound as trees mature and spread across neighborhoods.
Grant recipients handle planting; upkeep depends on their capacity Long-term survival of newly planted trees depends on the organizations' ongoing care and funding after the grant period ends in July 2027.
