Trees for Tomorrow

Trees for Tomorrow is a Province of British Columbia initiative
designed to support urban and rural communities in the planting of
millions of trees in schoolyards, hospital grounds, civic parks,
campuses, parking lots and other public spaces throughout British
Columbia over the next five years.

This initiative is part of the Province’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by
at least 33 per cent below current levels by 2020.

Projects selected for funding must meet the following criteria:

• ecologically sound project and site plan;

• volunteer and community engagement;

• partnered funding;

• linkages with other provincial government initiatives; and

• stewardship, monitoring and long-term sustainability plans.

Eligible applicants include local governments, First Nations and institutional
landowners such as school districts, hospital and universities.
Environmental and stewardship groups are invited to apply in
partnership with another eligible applicant.

The first application intake deadline is January 16, 2009.
