ACTION ALERT
National Small Business Tree Planting Program
In the early 1990s there existed a $30 million annual tree planting
program at the Small Business Administration (SBA).
Unfortunately,
the program fell away and hasn't been funded in years. The program was
a valuable tool for small businesses, who worked in collaboration with
state and local governments to beautify retail storefronts, rental
housing, and parks. Each locality receiving funds was obligated to
contract with nonprofit organizations or private industry companies.
Now ACT is leading an effort to
reinstate the SBA Tree Planting Program.
We have a House sponsor who would like to introduce legislation in
December or January. Let's show Congress that you remember
this
program and want it back!
If you think that your Representative should sign-on as a co-sponsor,
contact ACT to find out what you can do.
