Forest Enhancement Program
We encourage the public to help us make Manitoba's natural and community forest environment more attractive, diverse, widespread and productive.
Funding support is provided to enhance and sustain the forest environment of the communities and regions of Manitoba. Projects that may contribute to addressing climate change are of special interest. All projects that provide present and future benefits to the people of their community, their region, or the province as a whole will be considered.
Please note: To be eligible for funding, projects must be located on land that is accessible to the public and open to public use. Projects located on private property are not eligible.
Applications are accepted each year from July 1 to November 1. If your group or community could benefit from some added trees next summer, apply to the Forest Enhancement Program.

The Forest Enhancement Program provided funding support to the Carman Memorial Hospital and the community to create a lush and private space for palliative care residents. |
Opportunities for sponsorships and/or partnerships on a provincial, national or international level may be considered, depending upon the circumstances involved and the potential linkage with our Forest Enhancement Program.
