Summary

Project Canopy, supported by the Maine Forest Service, offers grants up to $20,000 to enhance community forestry programs. This initiative focuses on educating communities about the benefits of trees and fostering collaboration between experts and local governments. By promoting sustainable forestry management and increasing awareness, Project Canopy aims to improve the health and livability of communities through effective tree planting and maintenance strategies.

Overview

Project Canopy Project Canopy is about people. It educates people about the benefits trees provide, and how trees make people's lives better. It connects people who have a particular expertise to people who need that expertise. It helps build bridges with town and city governments, and it knows how to communicate in a local, political environment. And just as important, Project Canopy helps people talk about success stories, so that they can find the motivation --- and inspiration --- that is crucial for developing creative, long-term community forestry programs. The Maine Forest Service has an incredible reservoir of knowledge and expertise. The challenge for us is to get that knowledge to the people who can use it. Any long-term community forestry program needs commitment and understanding from many different corners. Project Canopy's role is to get people in different corners talking to each other, so that awareness about trees can grow by leaps and bounds. We do that by using down-to-earth strategies, and deploying technical experts into the field to lend hands-on assistance.
