Hyland R. Johns Grant Program

The goal of the Tree Research and Education Endowment Fund (TREE Fund) Grant Programs is to provide support for research and technology transfer projects that are in keeping with the TREE Fund’s mission and priorities as well as addressing topics that have the potential of benefiting the everyday work of arborists.

Hyland R. Johns Grants support multi-year research projects (two to five years in duration). Grants may support expenses over multiple years, but no more than one grant can be awarded to any project. Grant award amounts may vary from the amount requested, depending on the adjudged value of the project relative to the needs of the arboricultural industry. Grants range from $7,500 to $25,000. Funds cannot be used to pay for overhead expenses, student tuition or student fees.
