The United States Botanic Garden, in partnership with ArbNet, Botanic Gardens Conservation International-US, The Morton Arboretum and NatureServe, are pleased to announce a new round of the Priority U.S. Trees Conservation Awards — a funding opportunity to support the collection, propagation, and distribution of at-risk U.S. tree species.

We invite U.S.-based institutions to apply for this conservation funding opportunity to advance tree conservation collections and safeguard imperilled tree taxa. Award amounts range from US$3,000 to US$10,000 for up to three taxa.

Proposals will be accepted through 15 April 2026. Recipients will be notified within four to six weeks of the application due date.
