Partner with us to grow a greener Melbourne.
City of Melbourne created the Urban Forest Fund to accelerate greening across our city. The fund provides financial support for new greening projects, including green spaces, tree planting, biodiversity projects, vertical greening and green roofs.
You can apply for an Urban Forest Fund grant to create new green spaces on private property in the city and we’ll match it dollar-for-dollar. Alternatively you can support greening in the city by making a contribution to the fund.
