Trees for Tomorrow: Plant for the Planet Accepting Applications through Nov. 30
Monday, October 24, 2011
Twenty-one organizations funded and more than 20,000 trees planted across the Commonwealth – and growing.
Since its inception in 2009, our “Plant for the Planet” matching-grant tree-planting program has benefitted numerous nonprofit organizations and governmental agencies across the LG&E and KU service territory.
Deadline is Nov. 30
Efforts to further beautify the state next spring have already taken root, as interested organizations can submit applications through Nov. 30.
Matching one-year grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 are available for urban, suburban or rural projects in forests and parks, along parkways or roadways.
If your organization or group has demonstrated tree planting success, you can download an application online at www.lge-ku.com/plantfortheplanet. Just make sure your proposal clearly states project objectives, anticipated results and how the project will improve the environment.
The Right Tree, in the Right Place
Plant for the Planet funds only support non-invasive tree species and all applicants must demonstrate that mature trees resulting from their efforts will not interfere with utility lines — consistent with our "Right Tree in the Right Place" program.
Everyone wins when you can help the environment and enhance electric reliability at the same time.
We’ll announce grant recipients next February, so spread the word about the program and invite interested organizations to submit an application today.
Until next time, keep using energy – and planting trees – wisely.
