Canadian TREE Fund: Jack Kimmel Grant (Canadian Grant)
The Canadian TREE Fund (CTF) is a registered Canadian charity established to promote arboriculture research in Canada. The mission of The Canadian Tree Fund is to identify significant environmental, biological, social and economic needs related to tree genetics, management and care and provide funding for innovative basic/applied research and education. It has become increasingly important for society to consider promoting and preserving its natural environment, in which trees play a significant role. Research serves to enhance arborists’ understanding of developing, selecting and managing trees for the benefit of future generations.
Research grants have been awarded nationwide for worthy projects. Individuals and/or agencies are invited to submit proposals for consideration. The scope of your proposal can vary in size with this grant being the sole source of funding or one of a variety of sources. The project will be evaluated with regard for the goals of the TREE Fund as a whole and the impact that can be made with each grant.
Application Deadline: December 1, 2016
Funding: To date, the trust has awarded close to 60 grants with a combined worth of almost $700,000.
