As a part of this project, we are offering teachers and school administrators and/or collaborating GRPS/parents the funding, technical assistance, trees, or support to host an urban forest project or event within your school.
Any Grand Rapids Public School Teacher or Administrator, or collaborating GRPS/parent teams are eligible for funding to host a Spring or Fall planting or school forestry project. Ideal projects and events will have meaningful student learning opportunities and involve parents and local residents in expanding, protecting, or enhacin our City's Urban Forest.
