Jackson Tollerton reports for News10 in Albany that planting more trees may be one of the best ways to combat climate change, and New York has a plan to help landowners do that. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has $850,000 available through the third round of the state’s Regenerate NY Forestry Cost Share Grant Program to help plant more trees. Landowners who want to restore or establish five or more acres of forest can apply for grant awards ranging from $10,000 to a $100,000, with a required 25 percent match. DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said, “Investing in the establishment and resiliency of our forests is a critical component for ensuring the continued ecosystem services that trees provide. I encourage all interested landowners to take advantage of this funding.” Applications can be submitted through NYS Grants until 5 p.m. on October 6, or until funds are depleted.
