Canopy Restoration, Inc. has requested a grant of up to $5,500 to help the City of Pensacola restore its tree canopy. This project aims to plant trees and associated irrigation in neighborhoods and city parks. The planting locations will be within the right-of-way or within 20 feet of the right-of-way, or within city parks. The project is currently under review, having been considered by the Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) and found to be in compliance by the City Arborist. If approved by City Council, the project would involve site preparation for planting, the procurement and installation of trees and vegetation, and the setup of irrigation systems. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the project organizers before final plans and permits are established. Businesses specializing in landscaping, irrigation, tree supply, and site preparation could find potential work.
