Columbia Green Trees for Campuses
The Columbia Green Trees for Campuses program is a partnership between Beat the Heat—Plant a Tree and our Grants program. We are offering up to 50 shade trees to local schools, places of worship and nonprofit campuses so that more students, congregations, and community members have access to the benefits of shade. An application is required.
For more information about the application process, please contact Chris Wormley, Community Grants Chair at grantawards@columbiagreen.org.
