From YouTube: Tree Care Grant Full Workshop
Description
Looking for tree care resources for your community? This workshop will provide an overview of the Tree Care Grant Program: what it is, why it’s important, and what funds can be used for. Learn how to complete the online application and grant reporting through the Tree Care Grant Program.
A
A
A
Fondit,
if
your
neighborhood
has
already
applied
for
a
grant
in
the
past,
it's
basically
the
same
login
information
you
use
for
one
of
those
grants,
such
as
the
neighborhood
manchu
grant.
If
you
haven't
created
a
website
for
your
neighborhood
or
a
software.
For
your
name.
Sorry,
a
what's
the
word,
I'm
thinking
of
a.
A
B
A
Be
concluded
and
reports
submitted
by
july
1st
of
2022.
This
grant
is
not
mutually
exclusive,
with
other
grants
available
with
the
city.
So,
for
example,
you
can
have
one
of
these
grants
open
at
the
same
time
as
a
neighborhood
matching
grant
or
a
keep
charlotte
beautiful,
beautification
grant,
and
this
workshop
counts
as
your
pre-active
application
workshop
on
the
website.
When
you
apply
it'll,
have
a
question
in
the
application.
That
said,
did
you
view
the
grant
application
or
sorry
the
grant
application
workshop,
and
you
can
just
check
that
button?
A
A
B
A
A
C
B
A
Volunteer
event
and
a
community
arbor
day
event
related
to
trees,
so
there's
an
opportunity
to
mix
and
match
there
so
who's
eligible
for
this.
Essentially,
there
are
two
categories
for
eligibility
that,
if
you've
applied
for
a
neighborhood
matching
grant
in
the
past,
you'll
recognize
these.
For
sure
one
is
neighborhood
associations
within
the
charlotte
city
limits
when
they
do
the
following.
A
A
Alternatively-
and
we
don't
see,
many
groups
apply
for
this
grant
that
fit
into
this
category,
but
we're
always
open
to
new
groups.
Applying
neighborhood-based
groups
such
as
like
book
clubs,
sports
clubs,
civic
clubs,
things
like
that
are
eligible
for
the
tree
care
grant,
and
these
neighborhood
matching
grant
criteria
when
they've
been
active
for
at
least
six
months,
but
when
they
have
80
percent
of
group
members
living
in
that
neighborhood.
So
with
the
neighborhood
organizations,
it's
a
75
requirement
for
neighborhood-based
organizations.
A
A
C
C
So
that's
how
laurie
and
I
laurie-
and
I
are
gonna-
do
this
presentation
together
and
we
haven't
like
really
talked
about
how
we're
going
to
do
it
so
we're
just
going
to
sort
of
bounce
it
back
and
forth
as
we
come
across
slides
that
are,
you
know
more
pertinent
to
each
one
of
us,
so
we
like
to
start
it
out
just
by
saying
that
we
celebrate
trees
every
day
here
at
landscape
management
and
the
city
arborist
office,
our
trees,
provide.
You
know
a
lot
of
benefit.
C
If
you
want
to
quantify
it,
it's
about
325
million
dollars
annually
in
different
benefits
like
cooling.
They
stop
some
of
the
storm
water
that
just
came
out
of
the
sky
from
us
from
reaching
our
creeks
and
streams,
and
things
like
that.
So
we
really
do
value
our
trees
and
we're
so
happy
to
have
you
here
and
showing
that
you
do
as
well.
C
So,
like
jonathan
stated,
we
did
have
a
really
intensive
banding
program,
but
we
are
really
happy
to
say
that
we
do
not
have
a
cankerworm
issue
in
charlotte
right
now,
so
we
are
not
banding
anymore.
We
believe
that
they
went
away
because
there
was
a
hard
frost
about
three
or
four
years
ago
that
killed
the
cankerworms
when
they
were
really
small
and
sort
of
stopped
that
cycle,
so
not
as
many
caterpillars
going
into
the
ground
to
become
moths
to
come
back
out
and
lay
the
eggs
it
just
broke
that
cycle.
C
So
we're
really
excited
to
report
that
the
city
did
not
band.
This
past
fall
like
we
used
to
and
we
will
not
be
doing
it
again.
This
fall.
We
are
banding,
500,
trees,
glory,
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong
got
it
for
monitoring
purposes
only,
and
we
really
did
expand
our
monitoring
efforts,
the
last
two
years
to
be
able
to
see
if
the
moths
are
coming
back
and
then
being
able
to
target
and
focus
banding
efforts
in
the
future.
B
Removal
yeah
definitely
so
one
of
the
program
grant
areas
that
we
have
for
this
tree
care
grant
is
for
vine
removal.
So,
as
you
can
see
in
this
picture,
this
is
english
ivy.
That
is
completely
over
growing
a
series
of
trees.
If
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
erin,
so
what
we,
what
this
grant
could
be
for
is
to
do
vine
removal.
So
there
are
several
species
of
vines
that
can
grow
on
trees.
B
We,
you
might
have
wisteria,
you
might
have
kudzu,
you
might
have
porcelain
vine.
You
may
have
english
ivy,
so
this
would
be
to
get
these
vines
off
of
the
trees.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
or
just
oh
I'm.
Sorry,
if
sorry,
I
think
my
screen
is
is
not
showing
me
everything.
Sorry,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
switch
my
camera
around.
Could
you
go
back
one
aaron,
so
I
think
at
the
bottom
of
that
slide-
and
I
can't
get
my
camera
to
work
there.
It
is
okay,
good.
B
So
the
reason
why
we
want
to
do
this
vine
removal
is
these
vines
are
really
aggressive.
They
will
grow
up
really
quickly
on
the
tree
and
they'll
they'll
take
in
the
water
and
nutrients
from
the
soil
that
were
meant
for
that
tree
as
they
grow
up.
As
you
can
see
in
the
english
ivy
picture,
they
can
grow
over
the
branches
and
over
the
leaves,
and
that
can
block
the
sunlight
and
reduce
the
trees
ability
to
be
able
to
create
its
own
food.
B
So
it
has
that
effect
also
when
they
grow
out
over
the
branches.
Just
the
weight
on
that
branch
is
a
lot
more
on
that
tree.
So
if
we
get
ice
during
the
wintertime
or
snow
during
the
winter
time
or
really
heavy
rains,
that
just
adds
extra
weight
onto
that
branch
and
can
make
that
branch
susceptible
to
failing
during
a
storm
event.
B
B
Thank
you,
and
so
just
just
a
little
tutorial.
We
do
have
a
handout
as
well.
That
jonathan,
I
think,
will
have
on
the
website.
That
gives
you
a
little
bit
more
detailed
instructions,
but
one
of
the
easiest
ways
to
remove
these
vines
is
either
at
a
volunteer
event
or
you
could
pay
an
arborist
to
come
out
and
do
this
work,
but
essentially
what
you
want
to
do
is
you
want
to
sever
the
vine
at
a
height,
that's
comfortable,
so
I
usually
do
it
right
at
chest
height.
B
So
you
know
four
to
five
feet
being
really
careful.
So
in
this
picture
on
the
left,
I'm
just
have
a
pruning
saw
and
cutting
through
that
really
thick
vine
growing
on
the
tree
being
really
careful
not
to
get
into
the
bark
of
the
trees
you're,
not
damaging
that
tree,
and
then
you
also
want
to
cut
at
the
ground
level
as
well,
and
so
you
want
to
create
a
clear
area
where
there's
no
vines
on
the
tree.
In
the
case
of
english
ivy,
you
want
to
make
sure
you
remove
all
of
the
material
you
cut.
B
Any
you
know
leaves
with
stems
on
them.
Any
of
the
root
system,
any
of
that
that
vine-
that's
on
the
tree,
because
if
you
just
throw
it
on
the
ground,
it'll
root
right
back
and
then
start
growing
again.
So
essentially,
what
you
want
to
do
is
you
want
to
create
a
clear
zone
area
where
you
don't
have
the
vines
allow
the
vines
that
are
in
the
canopy
of
the
tree
to
die.
B
B
So
some
of
the
tools
that
you
can
use
you
can
use
a
hand,
saw
you
can
use
loppers
and
again,
you
know
try
to
try
to
keep
that
area.
Just
a
clean
cut
on
the
trunk
of
the
tree,
remove
all
that
material
there.
So
this
could
be
an
event
that
you
can
do
with
with
your
community
group,
so
some
of
the
the
funding
could
be
used
to
buy
or
to
rent
tools
to
be
able
to
do
this
work
or
to
pay.
C
B
So
this
is
really
for
trees
that
a
person
could
work
on.
So
we
don't
want
you
needing
to
prune
trees.
We
might
need
a
chainsaw
or
very
large
tools
to
be
able
to
do
the
job
so
hand
pruners
again,
loppers
a
small
hand
saw
or
even
just
a
little
pole
saw.
Those
are
the
tools
that
we
expect,
so
these
would
be
trees
that
could
be
pruned
for
the
ground
from
the
ground.
A
lot
of
research
shows
that
pruning
a
tree
several
times
as
they're,
younger
and
growing.
B
You
can
get
that
structure
of
the
tree.
The
way
that
you
want
it,
so
you
won't
have
a
defect.
Moving
in,
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
screen
you'll
see
some
things
that
you
would
want
to
prune
out.
So
if
you
live
in
an
area
where
there's
crape
myrtles,
you
may
have
like
suckers
that
are
growing
along
the
base
of
the
tree.
B
Those
are
very
easily
cut
with
that
with
ham
pruners,
but
when
they're
young,
if
you
have
a
branch
that
was
broken
off
and
there's
a
stub,
a
piece,
that's
sticking
out
that
could
be
easily
pruned
off
branches
that
rub
each
other
dead
branches,
disease
branches.
These
are
the
things
that
you're
going
to
want
to
target
and
again
this
is
for
younger
trees,
something
you
can
easily
do
from
the
ground.
B
We
don't
want
people
getting
up
on
ladders
or
anything
like
that,
so
everything
that
can
be
done
from
the
ground
right
there
and
the
funding
for
this
can
also
go.
You
know
to
rent
tools
to
be
able
to
do
this
or
jonathan
the
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
if
it
can
be
used
for
a
contract
to
do
it,
we'd
really
like
this
to
be
like
a
neighborhood
event
and
something
that
you
all
can
work
together
and
be
able
to
teach
on
the
website.
C
C
It
would
be
really
a
great
opportunity
to
get
in
there
and
get
some
of
those
vines
off
of
the
trees
for
people
who
just
sort
of
lost
control
of
their
their
landscaping
and
helping
them
with
that
and
english
ivy
is
amazingly
easy
to
pull
out
by
hand,
especially
if
it
just
rained
or
something
like
that,
and
the
soil
is
a
little
bit
damp.
You
can
really
just
grab
it
out
from
the
roots
at
the
bottom
and
it
really.
It
is
a
relatively
easy
task
to
do.
C
So
you
know,
like
I
just
said
those
big
trees
in
your
neighborhoods,
really
do
help
with
the
property
values
and
curb
appeal
of
neighborhoods
people
are
looking
for
trees.
We
all
know
that
we
just
went
through
a
really
big
heat
wave
and
having
those
large
trees
in
your
neighborhood
really
does
cool
it
down
in
the
summertime.
C
But
if
you
hire,
if
you
have
a
certified
arborist
come
out,
they
can
provide
especially
an
overview
of
the
tree
canopy
in
your
community.
They
can
look
at
the
common
area
trees.
So
if
you
have
places
where
people
gather
or
you
have
a
pool
area
or
those
types
of
things,
they
can
look
at
those
trees
and
sort
of
give
you
some
suggestions
about
things
that
may
need
to
be
done
to
them.
They
can
help
identify
the
trees.
C
And
then
so
you
can
make
a
plan
in
the
community
about
how
you
want
to
handle
those
things
like
take
some
a
little
bit
of
them
out
of
the
time
and
plant
new.
So
these
pictures
here
are
just
sort
of
showing
this
is
actually
my
neighborhood.
I
live
up
in
northwest
charlotte,
but
if
we
had
an
arborist
come
out
to
our
area,
they
might
look
at
some
aerial
maps
and
give
us
places
of
opportunity.
C
So
the
picture
on
the
left
with
the
green
circle-
that's
a
common
area,
that's
owned
by
the
the
homeowners
association,
and
they
might
say
that
you
have
this
open
grassy
field.
This
is
a
perfect
opportunity
for
you
to
plant
more
trees
and
then
the
picture
on
the
right
is
a
tree,
save
area,
so
newer
communities
per
the
tree
ordinance
when
they're
developed.
C
The
developer
has
to
leave
a
certain
percentage
of
the
property
in
trees
for
future
generations,
and
that
then
becomes
the
property
of
the
homeowners
association
and
lori,
and
I
have
found
that
many
homeowners
associations
have
no
idea
that
they
are
responsible
for
those
areas,
so
they
can
help
you
identify
those.
They
can
look
at
those
areas
like
in
an
overall
basis
and
sort
of
tell
you
what's
going
on
like
what
types
of
trees
are
in
there.
C
If
you
have
any
concerns,
if
your
trees
are
falling
into
the
creek
and
things
like
that,
they
can
sort
of
give
you
a
plan
to
help
you
take
care
of
that,
and
then
this
could
fund
actual
work
in
there.
So
if
you
wanted
to
do
some
invasive
plant
removal
on
the
on
those
trees
in
those
trees,
barriers
that
would
be
allowed
or
if
you
had
trees,
especially
along
the
edge
that
were
leaning
and
people
that
backed
up
to
those
areas,
were
upset
by
that
that
those
trees
could
be
removed.
C
Now
those
tree
areas
are
protected
by
ordinance,
so
any
work
that
was
done
in
those
areas
or
any
work
that
was
suggested
would
need
to
be
done
by
a
certified,
arborist
and
then
you'd
also
have
to
work
with
the
land,
development
and
urban
forestry
group.
There's
an
urban
forester,
that's
assigned
to
different
sections
of
the
city.
You
would
need
to
work
with
them
and
a
permit.
That's
free
would
need
to
be
obtained
from
that
group,
but
you
could
use
these
funds
to
go
into
these
tree.
C
Safe
areas
and
clean
up
a
little
bit
do
planting
if
trees
needed
to
be
planted
back
or
if
you
wanted
to
move
invasive
plants
in
those
areas
too.
And
then,
if
you
live,
you
know
in
a
community
with
lots
of
big
trees.
You
have
some
elderly
elderly
residents
that
maybe
can't
can't
do
tree
maintenance
anymore.
There
was
a
you
know,
two
to
three
four
trees
that
you
were
really
concerned
about
in
your
community
that
that
this
grant
could
probably
cover
those
trees
being
looked
at
and
evaluated
for
risk.
C
C
And
then
these
are
just
some
local
companies
and,
like
jonathan
said,
he'll,
be
sending
out
this
presentation
or
it'll
be
on
the
website.
I
believe
so
you
don't
have
to
you
know,
try
to
jot
all
of
these
things
down,
but
these
are
some
local
companies
and
by
no
means
is
it
all
of
them,
but
people
that
the
city
have
worked
with
that.
You
know
do
really
good
work,
have
certified
arborists
on
staff
and
would
be
able
to
help.
C
B
And
these
companies
we
spoke
to,
we
gave
them
information
about
these
grants.
They
have
a
little
background
information
as
well.
So
these
these
are
the
direct
contacts
that
we
kind
of
told
them
about
these
grants,
and
so
these
would
be
good
people
to
contact.
But,
like
aaron
said,
there
are
plenty
of
other
arp
burst
companies
within
the
city
of
charlotte,
as
well
just
kind
of
a
quick
jumping
off
list
for
you.
C
In
my
opinion,
whenever
someone
understands
more
about
what's
around
them,
they
tend
to
take
better
care
of
it
and
have
more
love
for
it
and
want
to
protect
it.
So
some
ideas
that
we
have
out
there
you
know
arbor
day
is
in
march.
It's
I
have
the
wrong
date
on
there.
I'm
sorry!
I
did
not
correct
it.
It's
probably
around
the
same
time,
but
it's
it's
in
march
and
then
the
national
arbor
day
is
in
april.
C
If
you
want
to
get
out
more,
when
the
weather
may
be
a
little
bit
warmer
tree
walks
in
your
neighborhood,
we
can
the
city
staff
are
available
with
with
no
charge.
We
would
come
out
and
do
talks
on
many
different
topics.
You
could
use
the
money
to
spend
to
rent
a
place
to
hold
the
the
meeting
you
could
rent
tables
you
could
rent
chairs.
I
believe
jonathan,
please
speak
up
if
I'm
saying
that
wrong
and
you
can
do
food
and
beverages
for
the
event
as
well,
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways.
C
And
then
this
is
all
of
lori
and
I's
contact
information.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
any
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
or
you
just
want
to
talk
about
trees
in
general,
we're
always
happy
to
to
answer
those
questions.
Probably
email
is
the
better
way
to
reach
both
of
us
rather
than
phone.
Our
voicemails
tend
to
get
a
little
bit
filled
up
but
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions
that
you
may
have
laurie.
Do
you
want
to
talk
about
emerald
ash
borer
at
all.
B
I
I
guess
if
people
have
questions
I
can
so
in
in
a
couple
years
past
we
did
one
of
the
the
grants
was
for
emerald
ash
borer
treatment.
But
if
you
live
in
a
neighborhood
that
you
have
ash
trees
and
you're
concerned,
you
can
feel
free
to
contact
me
using
either
the
cell
phone
number
or
the
email,
and-
and
I
can
talk
to
you
more
about
emerald
ash
borer
and
you
know
an
idea
about,
even
if
it's
in
your
yard
or
your
neighborhood
area.
B
I
I
see
someone
just
put
in
the
chat
that
that
she's
got
okay,
okay,
I'll,
go
ahead
and
talk
about
it.
Then
she's
got
an
ash
tree
and
treats
it
yearly.
So
emerald
ash
borer
is
an
insect.
That's
been
in
the
city
of
charlotte
since
2017
it
was
found
kind
of
near
the
nearest
to
the
airport,
not
at
the
billy,
graham
library,
but
that
part
of
town-
and
this
is
the
beetle
on
the
left-hand
side-
it's
pretty
small.
So
it's
smaller
than
a
penny.
B
It's
a
pretty
small
insect
you'd
have
to
be
at
the
right
time
to
actually
see
the
insect.
We're
generally
not
going
to
see
the
adult,
but
the
the
grub
lives
underneath
the
bark
of
the
tree.
So
the
picture
on
the
right,
the
little
grub
feeds
underneath
the
bark
of
the
tree
on
the
living
tissue,
that's
moving
the
water
and
the
nutrients
and
etches
you
can
actually
feel
it.
It
etches
into
the
wood
and
it
disrupts
the
water
and
the
nutrient
movement
inside
the
tree
and
over
a
period
of
time
that
will
kill
the
tree.
B
So
this
is
a
little
bit
older
map,
but
it
shows
you
know
it
was
found
in
2017
it's
in
many
counties
across
the
state
of
north
carolina,
so
it
has
been
in
north
carolina
for
some
time.
It
was
first
found
at
the
border
of
north
carolina
and
virginia.
I
think
granville
county,
I
think,
was
a
county
there,
so,
but
it
has
been
in
charlotte.
B
B
My
only
large
tree
in
my
backyard
is
an
ash
tree,
so
you
don't
have
to
be
on
the
stream
to
be
able
to
have
an
ash
tree
in
your
yard,
or
you
might
have
some
in
your
common
spaces
or
you
know
out
in
your
neighborhood
as
well,
but
you
can
see
this
map
see
where
we
have
the
street
trees
as
well.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
thank
you
aaron.
B
So
once
these
beetles
attack
the
tree
and
the
larva
feeding
underneath
of
it
for
a
small
tree,
they
could
die
within
a
year
or
two
larger
trees
might
take
three
four
five
years,
so
it
could
take
quite
some
time
of
repeated
attacks.
So
since
we
know
it's
here
within
the
city
of
charlotte
and
it's
it's
found
in
pockets
across
the
city,
so
south
charlotte
I've
seen
it
I've
seen
it
up
at
the
university
area
really
all
across
the
city
and
they
are
killing
ash
trees.
B
B
These
beetles
do
tend
to
go
to
the
top
part
of
the
tree
and
it'll
attack
there.
First,
so
generally,
the
top
part
of
the
tree
will
start
dying
and
it
kind
of
dies
on
its
way
down.
If
you
have
an
ash
tree,
you
can
proactively
treat
it
with
chemicals.
You
can
either
do
a
soil
application,
and
the
roots
of
the
tree
will
take
up
that
chemical
and
move
it
throughout
the
tree
and
protect
the
tree.
B
B
B
Research
has
shown
that
it's
less
expensive
to
treat
your
tree
even
over
a
period
of
20
plus
years,
it's
generally
less
expensive
than
removing
that
entire
tree
and
plus
we
get
to
keep
the
canopy
and
all
those
wonderful
benefits
that
aaron
has
talked
about.
So
it's.
It
is
a
really
good
idea.
If
you
do
have
an
ash
tree
or
you
think
you
might
have
an
ash
tree,
so
I
did
see
in
the
chat.
Does
the
city
help
owners
of
ash
trees?
Well,
we
can
give
advice.
B
We
can
let
you
know
what
what's
going
on
with
that
tree,
especially
if
it
is
in
relation
to
emerald
ash
borer.
I
do
know
that
ash
trees,
at
least
the
one
in
my
backyard.
I
get
a
leaf
fungus
on
it
every
single
year
and
it
rains
down
leaves
throughout
the
summer
and
it
looks
really
really
bad.
But
once
you
look
at
the
trees
on
the
ground,
you
can
see
little
blobs
of
dead
tissue
on
there.
B
So
I
know
that
it
was
that
that
leaf
fungus,
it's
just
when
it's
wet
in
the
springtime,
like
we've,
been
having
last
couple
years,
wet
and
kind
of
warm-ish.
Those
leaf
fungus
tend
to
get
out
them.
That's
not
going
to
kill
the
tree,
but
the
ash
borer
will
kill
the
tree.
But
again
you
can
email
me.
Give
me
a
call.
I'd
be
glad
to
talk
to
you
about
your
ash
trees,
I'm
an
entomologist,
so
I
love
bugs,
and
I
love
to
talk
about
them.
A
Yep
awesome.
Thank
you
all
so
much
it's
always
it's
always
fantastic
to
hear
from
you
all
I
feel
like
I.
I
learned
something
every
single
time.
We
do
this
these
workshops.
So
that's
fantastic,
one
of
the
things
to
consider
when
it
comes
to
the
emerald
ash
borer.
That's
that
you
we've
had
a
lot
of
concerns
in
the
past
to
folks
like
asking.
A
How
do
I
identify
how
I
know
what
an
ash
tree
looks
like
one
of
the
things
that
we
recommend
when
it
comes
to
this
grant?
If
you
can
have
concerns
about
the
emerald
ash
bore
in
your
neighborhood,
is
to
take
advantage
of
the
tree
canopy
assessment
portion
of
this
grant
so
that
this
year
you
can
have
a
certified
arborist
come
out.
A
A
Trees
are
the
ash
trees.
Are
you
have
a
contact
with
our
arborist?
It
can
be
easier
for
you
all
to
conduct
that
emerald
dashboard
treatment,
so
as
a
recap
of
the
kind
of
the
the
things
that
we're
offering
this
year,
essentially
so
with
the
comes
to
a
tree,
canopy
assessment,
essentially,
as
the
name
suggests,
that's
a
canopy
assessment
by
a
certified
arborist
as
erin
and
laurie
talked
about.
A
A
Two
options
for
you
there.
When
it
comes
to
tree
canopy
assessments,
you
can
have
a
wider
range,
just
like
a
very
general
assessment
of
the
neighborhood
looking
for
trees,
identifying
what
trees
are
in
the
neighborhood.
What
trees
might
be
of
some
concern
to
the
neighborhood
in
general,
if
you
have,
or
if
you
have
just
two
or
three
trees,
that
as
aaron
was
talking
about
they're
large
trees,
you're
kind
of
concerned
about
whether
they
might
fall.
A
That
are
pretty
neighborhood-centric
trees
that
then
the
arborist
can
go
in
and
conduct
a
pretty
in-depth
assessment
of
those
taking
core
samples.
Things
like
that.
So
what
is
required
for
this
part
of
the
this
aspect
of
the
grant?
If
you
decide
to
go
with
this
is
a
letter
from
a
certified
arborist,
I'm
just
basically
describing
that
the
work
they're
going
to
be
carrying
out
for
your
neighborhood
when
they're
going
to
be
doing
it.
That
sort
of
thing
it's
relatively
simple
to
obtain.
A
When
it
comes
to
vine
removal,
it
can
cover
professional
vine
removal,
including
iv,
wisteria
kudzu
tools
and
supplies
related
to
vine
removal.
You
can
even
you
can
either
purchase
them
for
the
neighborhood
for
the
long
term
or
rent
them
from
lowe's
or
the
charlotte
tool
bank,
or
another
hardware
store
like
that.
A
It
can
also
cover
volunteer
training
to
review
proper
vine
removal
techniques.
What
is
required
as
part
of
the
vine
removal
aspect,
is,
if
you,
this
likely
won't
be
the
case
with
a
lot
of
the
ivs
that
you
encounter,
but
there
are
some
certain
ivs
that
you
know
if
the
trunk
is
like
bigger
than
five
or
six
inches,
it
might
need
some
herbicide,
in
addition
to
the
vine
removal
aspect
so
b,
and
take
that
into
consideration
that
hasn't
technically
or
that
hasn't
really
been
an
issue
in
the
past.
B
A
Be
able
to
conduct
it
so
as
aaron
suggested,
this
isn't
the
type
of
pruning
that
involves
chainsaws
or
heavy
equipment
or
cranes.
This
is
the
pruning
that
you
can
do
at
ground
level,
using
your
basic
pruners
and
hand
saws
and
then
finally,
community.
We
are
funding
community
education
events
and
tree
related
celebrations,
festivals.
That
sort
of
thing.
A
This
can
cover
fees
for
equipment,
rental,
including
projectors,
audio
equipment
tables
and
chairs
food
and
non-alcoholic
beverages,
equipment
for
canopy,
related
events,
speaker
fees
and
licensing
fees
for
screen.
Film
screens,
what's
I
will
say
as
part
of
the
city's
grant
program,
food
and
beverage
purchases
cannot
exceed
500,
and
that
is
the
case
for
the
majority
of
these.
If,
for
all
of
the
grants,
really
food
and
beverage
purchases
cannot
exceed
500
one.
A
Did
a
screening
of
the
lorax
and
their
kind
of
common
area
in
the
neighborhood
and
outdoor
screening
as
part
of
this
grant
and
the
grant
covered
the
film
license
and
they
covered
the
projector
equipment
which
they
rented
from
the
charlotte
tool
bank.
They
also
brought
in
like
a
snow
cone
truck
out
there
that
sounded
like
a
really
fantastic
event,
so
we're
looking
forward,
especially
hopefully.
C
A
B
A
B
A
From
the
tool
bank,
that
could
count
as
an
in-kind
contribution,
but
the
primary
focus
here
when
it
comes
to
that
match
is
going
to
be
volunteer
hours.
I
did
see
someone
writing
the
chat
earlier,
whether
they
could
count
neighborhood
matching
grant
hours
towards
this
grant.
Unfortunately,
you
can't
we're
wanting
to
see
the
volunteer
projects
be
unique
to
this
grant.
A
C
A
A
B
A
B
A
Where
they
have
neighborhood
volunteers
there,
they
counted
that
one
neighborhood
does
an
annual
chili
cut-off.
They
counted
that.
So
this
grant
and
part
of
the
reason
why
it's
located
partially
within
the
community
engagement
division
is
that
we're
wanting
you
to
engage
the
community
through
this
grant,
we're
wanting
to
see
you
involve
the
community
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
related
to
tree
care.
We
just
want
to
see
that
it's
bringing
the
community
together,
one.
A
A
B
A
A
A
A
You
can.
Click
apply
in
the
upper
left
hand,
corner
of
the
screen,
and
then
I
believe
treat
the
this
year's
tree.
Care
grant
should
be
the
first
to
pop
up
you'll,
see
on
the
right
hand,
side
it'll,
have
a
blue
apply
button.
You
click
that
and
you
just
fill
out
the
application.
You
can
save
it
as
many
times
as
you'd
like
before
submitting,
but
we
do
ask
that
you
have
the
application
submitted
by
october
1st.
A
A
B
A
With
the
grant
they
know
about
it,
and
also
that
you
have
these
events
planned
so
that
you
are
you,
there
is
definitely
going
to
be
the
potential
for
you
to
be
able
to
create
that
match.
So
traditionally
those
pledge
sheets
have
looked
like
this
and
there
are
links
to
these
pledge
sheets
that
are
downloadable
on
the
city's
website.
A
However,
because
we
are
on
a
pandemic,
you
can't
necessarily
go
door
to
door
or
you
might
not
feel
comfortable,
be
going
door
to
door
going
to
big
in
person
meetings
collecting
signatures,
so
we
do.
We
have
starting
this
past
year,
started
accepting
various
other
forms
of
just
basically
evidence
or
pledges.
So,
for
example,
a
sign
up
genius,
a
wufoo
form,
surveymonkey
works
well,
an.
B
A
This
individual
conducted
a
facebook
post
for
the
ravenwood
neighborhood
association.
Essentially,
what
we're
looking
here
for
here
is
the
whoever
the
grant
applicant
is,
has
specific
events
identified,
and
then
they
have
folks,
with
their
name,
signed
up
for
a
specific
number
of
hours.
So,
for
example,
in
this
post
from
ravenwood
on
facebook,
you
see
the
first
person
said
that
they
are.
You
see
that
ravenwood
described
what
the
project
was,
that
they
were
asking
for
volunteer.
A
A
This
is
just
basically
your
budget
worksheet,
so
it's
two
sheets,
it's
an
excel
document
on
the
first
sheet
you
can
put
in
all
of
your
expenses
as
well
as
your
predicted
cash
matches
and
in-kind
matches
on
the
second
sheet
you
can
put
in
that
list
of
volunteer
events.
This
is
where
kind
of
those
pledge
sheets
come.
B
B
C
B
A
So
after
the
application.
Here's,
basically
what
the
timeline
looks
like
on
october,
1st,
that's
when
you
submit
everything
and
the
week
or
so
after
that,
we'll
be
reviewing
all
of
the
applications,
letting
you
know
if
we
need
any
clarification
on
anything
on
the
week
of
october.
20Th
is
when
we'll
notify
you
of
approval.
A
Volunteer
hours,
things
like
that
and
then
have
everything
completed
by
july.
1St.
One
thing
to
note
about
this
grant
is
that
it
is
a
reimbursement
grants,
meaning
that
funds
are
not
granted
in
advance.
Essentially,
what
you
do
is
you
submit
receipts
for
reimbursement
or
invoices
to
kcd
staff
as
needed?
A
Those
requests
are
processed
and
checks
are
made
out
to
the
grantees
registered
address
within
30
days
of
the
receipt
of
the
complete
reimbursement
request.
I
will
note
because
of
the
pandemic,
it
might
take
more
than
35
or
more
around
35
or
so,
but
usually
it
is
within
that
one
month
all
checks-
and
this
is
one
important
thing
to
note-
are
made
out
to
be
implying
organization,
so
they're
not
made
out
as
personal
checks
they're
made
out
to
the
organization
itself.
A
This
is
why
it's
important
to
have
an
active
neighborhood
association
when
applying
for
this
grant,
and
then
organizations
make
payments
to
these
vendors,
so
the
city
of
charlotte
is
not
going
to
be
paying
the
arborist
we're
not
going
to
be
paying
for
the
tools
your
neighborhood
organization
that
applies
for
is
doing
that
and
then
the
city
is
reimbursing
it.
For
that
to
receive
payment,
grantees
have
to
complete
a
vendor
registration
form.
A
If
you,
when
you
apply
for
the
grant,
I
essentially
go
in
on
the
first
couple
of
days
and
check
in
our
financial
system
to
see
if
the
neighborhoods
that
have
applied
are
registered
as
vendors
with
the
system.
If
you're,
not
I'll,
let
you
know
if
you
are
I'll,
ask
that
you
confirm
all
of
the
information
that
is
provided
there.
A
So
there's
not
too
much
to
worry
about
at
this
point,
but
know
that
once
you
apply,
that
is
something
that
we'll
be
checking
in
on
fun
when
it
comes
to
reporting,
we
do
have
a
couple
of,
or
we
have
just
basically
a
couple
of
reports
assigned
to
you
after
you
signed
the
contract.
Just
to
tell
us,
you
know
how
things
are
going
to
submit
volunteer
sheets
and
sign
up
sheets
from
the
events
you
have
once
they
come
in
verification
of
income
donations.
A
Things
like
that
those
are
going
to
be
due
on
the
third
mondays
of
december
february
april
and
june,
this
grant
cycle
and
it's
important
to
get
those
in.
If
we,
if
you
know
you
haven't,
submitted
a
report
the
entire
time
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
in
april,
you
have
a
ton
of
receipts
for
us,
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
go
back
in
and
fill
out
those
reports.
So
we've
been,
we.
A
Been
going
on
with
your
project
before
we
process
those
payments?
Finally,
when
it
comes
to
closeout
towards
the
end
of
the
grant
cycle,
the
project
is
considered
complete
when
you've
met
your
match.
You're
good
with
the
project,
you're
happy
with
what's
been
accomplished
and
all
the
funds
have
been
expended
once
all
of
that's
been
complete,
essentially
you'll,
just
write
me
an
email
request
and
close
out
you'll
fill
out
a
close
out
survey
and
then
have
everything
done
by
july,
1st
2022.
A
one
other
thing
to
consider
and
mention
the
neighborhood
matching
grant
sum.
We
recognize
that
this
grant
is
a
bit
limited
when
it
comes
to
the
scope.
It
is
relatively
new
that
it
is
covering
these
topics,
but
if
you
have
larger
projects,
one
thing
to
consider
is
applying
for
the
neighborhood
matching
ramp
that
the
city
provides.
A
So
for
more
information
about
that,
you
can
give
me
an
email
after
this
presentation-
and
I
can
connect
you
with
the
neighborhood
matching
grant
coordinator
so
again.
This
is
definitely
something
for
like
those
larger,
for
example,
if
you
have
a
massive
tree
pruning
project
with
you
know,
50
year
old
live
folks,
that's
gonna
cost
thirty
thousand
dollars.
This
might
be
something
that
might
be
better
suited
for
those
needs.
