DNR Urban Forestry Catastrophic Storm Grant Resolution

About 260 city trees came down in the tornado, and the state opened a short 60-day grant window to help municipalities replant. The committee backed applying for up to $50,000, with an October 1 deadline. Getting the grant means restoring the canopy without putting the full cost on local taxpayers.
