The purpose of the grant program is to enhance community transportation corridors through the planting of trees and shrubs. CTE projects must be located along state or county highways within or adjacent to communities, or primary city transportation routes that feed into state or county highways.

The NDFS is looking for projects that show knowledge of appropriate trees and shrubs for the site, proper tree care and planting techniques.

The community match must at least 20% of the total cost of the project in cash.  The community must have a tree board, a tree ordinance or a pledge to develop one and an annual work plan.
