Connecticuts Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has awarded over $950,000 in grants for urban tree canopy projects, with Hartford receiving a significant portion. The funds support nine initiatives, including planting and maintaining trees, offering apprenticeships, and providing environmental education. The projects aim to increase tree cover by five percent in environmental justice communities, combat urban heat, reduce pollution, and manage stormwater runoff. Additionally, a new grant program for rural areas and tribal nations is being planned, focusing on forest management for improved air and water quality, wildlife habitats, and recreation.
