Grant Projects to Bring More Trees, Create Healthier Learning Environments at Hawai‘i Public Schools

(HONOLULU) – Three nonprofit organizations have been selected to receive funding for tree planting projects at Hawai‘i public school campuses through the U.S. Forest Service’s 2022 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Grant. Each project will advance the Hawaiʻi Forest Action Plan priorities in Urban and Community Forestry while the trees planted will contribute toward the State’s pledge to conserve, restore, or grow 100 million trees by 2030.

“Each awarded project grows partnerships with our public schools to promote shadier, more tree-filled campuses and healthier learning environments for our next generation of leaders,” shared Dr. Heather McMillen, DLNR’s Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) Kaulunani Urban and Community Forestry Program Coordinator.
