Title, Resolve
Ratifying Application for a $7,756 Project Canopy Planting Grant from the Maine Forestry Service to Purchase
Trees for Planting.
This resolve would ratify staff's action to submit a grant application to the Maine Forestry Service to
purchase 50 trees that will be planted in the City of Bangor. These trees will replace trees that have
been removed over the last 2-3 years due to death or damage. Additionally, a portion of the money
will be used to purchase smaller bare root stock trees for the Finson Road nursery at a lower cost.
These trees will mature in the nursery and should reach planting size within 2-5 years.
The estimated total cost of the project is $15,601. If awarded, the grant will cover $7,756, volunteer
labor from the Downtown Bangor Partnership will cover $1,440, and the city will bear $6,405 in labor
and supplies - costs that are already allocated in the FY21 budget.
