to receive grants for tree planting include civic and homeowner associations, commu-
nity nonprofit organizations, civic service clubs, church or school-related groups, and
ad hoc neighborhood groups. The tree canopy fund can be used to plant trees on any

tions must be received by midnight on Friday, June 20.
