💰 Ramsey School District was awarded $238,917, the highest amount awarded through the Trees for Schools program compared to any other municipality in Bergen County for this initiative.
Why it matters: The grants cover costs associated with planning, site preparation, tree purchases, planting, watering, monitoring, and maintenance over a three-year period.
The big picture: The New Jersey Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette, Sustainable Jersey, and The College of New Jersey awarded nearly $4.5 million in grants to fund the planting of trees at 40 public schools, colleges, and universities across the state
