The City of Lake Charles is the recipient of an $866,078 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Community Forestry Grant Program.
The goal of the federal program, funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, is to reduce extreme heat, benefit health and improve access to nature.
“We are proud to be one of four successful applicants in the State of Louisiana,” said Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter. “Our #ReTreeLC initiative, launched in December 2021 to help restore the City’s depleted tree canopy post-storms, has been wildly successful with more than 3,000 trees planted in public spaces and distributed through public tree giveaways. This grant will assist us in enhancing the aesthetics and the overall betterment of our community through tree plantings at multiple locations throughout the City.”
