The Montgomery County Conservation District is excited to announce that the 2025 Trees for Watersheds (TfW) grant round is officially open.  The deadline for submitting grant applications to Montgomery County Conservation District (for project sites located within Montgomery County) is February 28, 2025. 

Since 2005, Trees for Watersheds (formerly TreeVitalize Watersheds), led by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in the five-county southeastern Pennsylvania region, has focused on tree planting along stream corridors, wetlands, adjacent upland areas, headwaters, and naturalized stormwater basins. Through this program, dozens of watershed restoration projects are conducted throughout the region every year, resulting in well over 100,000 trees planted in sensitive water protection zones. The program receives funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and corporate sponsors Aqua PA and PECO, as well as substantial in-kind contributions from various partners.

For information pertaining to program guidelines, timelines, and application instructions, please refer to the 2025 TfW Grant Program Announcement and other (attached) grant application documents.  These documents are also available for viewing and downloading from the following link: https://phsonline.org/programs/tree-programs/watersheds-grant-program.

We highly encourage prospective grant applicants to review all grant application documents carefully prior to reaching out with questions.  Please also note that 2024 Trees for Watersheds grantee organizations who cancelled their awarded project(s) for any reason will be required to resubmit such grant applications on or prior to February 28, 2025, to be eligible for funding consideration during this 2025 Trees for Watersheds grant round.   With questions, please contact Brian Vadino, bvadino@montgomeryconservation.org
