The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) hosts the PA Community Tree Assistance Program, an initiative to hire and pay qualified tree-care professionals to maintain a healthy tree canopy. Townships are eligible to request support toward planting and caring for new trees; pruning and maintaining existing trees; conducting tree inventories; and inspecting and addressing tree hazards to improve public safety. 

Projects must take place in public or community spaces, such as parks, along streets, school grounds, or cemeteries. Visit DCNR’s PATreeKeeper map for additional eligibility location requirements.
