The federal funds are intended to help these communities plant and maintain trees, which advocates say will reduce extreme heat, benefit health and community wellness, improve access to nature, and mitigate climate change.
Vilsack made the announcement from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which will receive $6 million in funding through the new grants. Other cities like Houston, Los Angeles, Hutchinson, KS, and Tarpon Springs, FL are also on the list of grant recipients.
