Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Grants

[DGSCCoho (DGSCCoho]

Catya - 

Here at Stone Curves cohousing in Tucson, AZ, we've applied for and received 
a $10,000 "Urban/Community Forestry Challenge Grant".  The grant will allow us 
to conduct a series of educational workshops regarding tree care and 
maintenance on our site (these will be for both community members and for the 
general 
public); to create a substantial in-house resource library of books, videos 
and other materials; to create informational signage regarding tree 
species/permaculture concepts/landscape design for placement around our 
site;and to send 
several of our members to additional training workshops on 
trees/permaculture/native landscaping, etc.

This is obviously an Arizona only grant program, but there might be similar 
programs where you are. The "Tree City USA" programs might be a good place to 
start.
