Urban Forest Funding

Projects funded by the Urban Forest Replenishment Fund, Planting for the Future Fund, and Austin Energy Heat Island Fund. This dataset reflects projects funded from 2015 to 2026. The Urban Forest Replenishment Fund supports community forestry in Austin by funding programs like Urban Forest Grants and NeighborWoods free tree program. Managed by the City of Austin’s Climate Action & Resilience team, the fund helps advance the City’s goal of reaching 50% tree canopy cover by 2050. Replenishment funds are distributed in three main channels:

• Urban Forest Grant – Tree related projects led by community groups
• Urban Forest Funding Portal – Supplies funding for City projects
• Contracts – Programs like NeighborWoods are contracted
