Program History

The New Mexico Forest Re-Leaf Program has awarded more than $500,000 to support tree planting projects in communities and schools across New Mexico.  Since its inception through the State Legislature in 1990, the Re-Leaf Program has awarded funds and resources to cities, towns, villages, and schools that directly benefit our environment and our people.

In 18 years, the Re-Leaf Program has funded the planting of more than 18,000 trees through 190 projects in communities and schools across the state.

Plant trees in your community or at your school

Annual applications are solicited in April and submittals are due in August.  If successful, your community will enter into a contract with EMNRD - Forestry Division and be ready to plant trees the following spring!  Eligible applicants include schools, municipalities, or local non-profit organizations.  Tree must be planted on public land.
