Mid-Atlantic Environmental Justice Fund – Mar 14
Posted by Chesapeake Bay Trust on February 4, 2025
The Chesapeake Bay Trust is now accepting applications for the Mid-Atlantic Environmental Justice Fund! This fund supports community-based urban forestry efforts by enhancing organizational capacity, improving tree canopy for public health and environmental benefits, and developing job training programs in forestry. These initiatives aim to address environmental justice issues and foster long-term community resilience.
The Mid-Atlantic Environmental Justice Fund is a grant program that leverages forestry to address environmental justice (EJ) issues in the Mid-Atlantic. Our goal is to disperse and democratize the range of co-benefits that healthy community forests have for decades into the future. A just community forestry and tree stewardship effort that integrates environmental, climate, and energy justice is a powerful tool to improve the health of the Mid-Atlantic region. Increasing tree canopy improves local air and water quality, cools neighborhoods, fosters public health, stimulates local green jobs, encourages community cohesion, mitigates flooding and its adverse effects, and strengthens the region and its inhabitants.
Application Deadline: Friday, March 14, 2025, 4:00 PM
