Hello. Trees Forever is offering a new program called TreeKeepers in both Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. The goal is to train community volunteers to care for street and park trees and become tree advocates. The program is being modeled after many others from around the country. Please feel free to pass information on to anyone you think might be interested. Details at: http://www.treesforever.org/Content/Affiliate-Resources/Programs/Tr...

The Iowa DNR is looking for suggestions in Iowa for the Faces of Urban Forestry project. The purpose of this resident beneficiary project is to create a collection of personal stories from across the nation that help share the importance and impact of federal, state and local urban and community forestry programs. Here are two sample stories from other states addressing watersheds and urban greening that we developed to demonstrate what a published story might look like.

I am starting to get some great Trees For Kids grant applications in. Feel free to call or e-mail with questions, as you are completing your application. Remember to get your spring application in by next Thursday, March 15th. It is fine to e-mail them. The fall grant application will be released shortly, and will be due on June 1st so that schools know if they have received it before they break for summer.
