New This Year: The Leave Your Mark Tree Scholarship Program

Sponsored by the Pottawattamie Conservation Foundation, the Leave Your Mark Tree Scholarship Program was created to honor Mark Shoemaker for his contributions to conservation and public service, and his commitment to native tree plantings in Pottawattamie County and helps fund scholarships to cover the purchase of native trees for Pottawattamie County, IA residents through the Trees Forever program. This program is open to all residents of Pottawattamie County with a priority placed on serving those who are looking to accomplish a memorial planting. Scholarship applications are made available once a year and the application period will close when Trees Forever stops accepting tree orders for the year.  Scholarships are limited to 20 scholarships per year (limit one per applicant) and will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.  Any non-memorial scholarship requests will be awarded if there are scholarships available once all memorial scholarship requests have been fulfilled.  Trees are provided by the Iowa DNR and Trees Forever through their annual Residential Tree Program. Scholarship applications can be completed at the link below.
