Excellence Awards
Grant Amount: $1,000
The Urban Forestry Excellence Awards recognize communities with outstanding achievements in creating and maintaining a sustainable urban forestry program. The Montana DNRC, with assistance from the Montana Urban & Community Forestry Association (MUCFA), select one community each from the Western and Eastern regions of Montana. These communities show exemplary efforts in advocating proper practices in urban forestry and promoting the benefits of the program. Each is presented with their award during the Montana League of Cities and Towns conference in the fall. The award consists of a special plaque and a $1,000 contribution towards an urban forestry project within the community.
Nominations for 2008 are currently being accepted. City & town officials, or community representatives - Please download and complete the form below and send to the listed address. For more information, please contact your DNRC urban forester or local representative.
