County Will Provide Grants for Tree Replacement

Grants of up to $100,000 will be awarded to cities, non-profits, and other organizations that develop plans to replace trees destroyed by November's wind storm.

The county will offer a $2.5 million grant program to replace trees damaged in November's wind storm, according to the office of County Supervisor Michael Antonovich.

The grants will be offered in blocks of $100,000 to "cities, other public agencies and nonprofit organizations that partner with public agencies," according to Antonovich's press release.

The grants can be used to plant trees in parks, public open spaces, or residential or commercial streets, according to the release.

With Altadena lacking a city government, presumably a private organization would have to apply for the grant to take advantage of the opportunity.

The deadline to apply is May 31 and applicant proposals should include plans to start the planting by the end of 2012, according to the release.
