DNR Now Accepting Applications For Wisconsin Urban Forestry Catastrophic Storm Grants
Applications Due June 2
MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced it is now accepting applications for Wisconsin Urban Forestry Catastrophic Storm Grants.
This round of grant funding became available through Executive Order #256, signed by Gov. Tony Evers on April 1, declaring a state of emergency March 29 through April 1, 2025 due to recent severe weather, including heavy ice and snow across Wisconsin.
Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, June 2, 2025.
The DNR’s Urban Forestry Catastrophic Storm Grant program funds tree repair, removal or replacement within urban areas following a catastrophic storm event for which the governor has declared a state of emergency under s. 323.10, Wis. Stats.
A catastrophic storm is defined as damage to urban forests caused by snow, ice, hail, wind or tornado. Catastrophic storms do not include insect infestation or disease, forest fire, drought or water saturation due to flooding. Urban forest damage must have occurred in an area with a minimum of 100 residents per square mile. Residential density is determined from statistics provided by the Wisconsin Demographic Service Center according to U.S. Census Bureau data.
