Dear Kenneth E. Olson, Jr.;
Congratulations on your 2010 Urban Forestry Excellence Award. As a recipient of the 2010
award, the City of Laurel is entitled to a $1000 grant award for use on an urban forestry
project in the community. The project may include tree planting, tree maintenance, and/or
program development activities such as performing a tree inventory or urban forestry
management plan. If you have any questions about the limitations associated with this grant
please contact me at the information listed above.
The deadline to complete all work for this grant is June 15, 2011. Please complete the
application and return it to the Montana Urban and Community Forestry Program office by
November 8, 2010. Shortly thereafter you will receive your contract and may begin work on
the project. It is recommended to talk with your regional DNRC urban forester to help you
develop your project. There is no matching requirement for this grant, however most
communities match some of the amount with volunteer /in -kind services.
Thank you so much for making such a valuable contribution to urban forestry in both Laurel
and the State of Montana. We look forward to receiving your completed grant application.
Sincerely,
Jamie Kirby
Program Coordinator
Montana Urban and Community Forestry
