These projects can entail but are not limited to: • Community tree inventory • Risk tree assessments • Storm assessments • Insect and disease management projects such as emerald ash borer survey, risk assessment and mitigation planning • Any combination of these activities.

Projects must be carried out on public property owned or maintained by a municipal or county government. Proposals shall be fully funded to the extent possible. NJUCF reserves the right to reallocate the number and amount of grant awards based on the quantity and/or quality of proposals received.

In that case, the total amount of the grant award shall be reduced accordingly.
