Financial Assistance Programs for Water Quality Protection in Communities

The Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF) supports local communities in their efforts to plant trees, improve urban tree cover, protect water, and more.


Virginia Trees for Clean Water Grant Program

The Virginia Trees for Clean Water (VTCW) program encourages the creation of long-term, sustained canopy cover to improve water quality across the Commonwealth. This grant is used to fund tree planting efforts that raise public awareness of the benefits of trees and their impacts on water quality.
