Deadline: GIPL's ReWilding Program
Plant Trees for a Greener Future
by Georgia Interfaith Power and Light
Georgia Interfaith Power and Light (GIPL) is looking to partner with congregations who want to plant FREE trees on-site. Through a grant from American Forests, GIPL has funding to provide free native trees and fruit trees to congregations in Metro-Atlanta in partnership with Trees Atlanta and FoodWell Alliance. Ideal congregations will have the following:
Land to plant 10-50 trees
A green team/volunteer group to maintain and water the trees (with a small grant to support these efforts from GIPL)
Interest in planting the trees either this fall (October – December) or next Spring (January – March)
Located in an EPA designated disadvantaged community (the funding restricts tree planting to certain census blocks to best address tree inequity).
If you are interested in this program, please contact GIPL’s Program Coordinator, Heather Franklin heather@gipl.org, to determine your eligibility and start a conversation about next steps. Congregations who reach out before August 15th will be prioritized. Click here to view a promotional flyer.
