Florida, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Forestry in an amount not to
exceed $75,000 for replanting, reforesting and/or replacing of trees that were damaged and/or

Background Information:
The Little Haiti section of the City of Miami is currently devoid of trees. During two tropical storm
systems; Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne, Little Haiti's tree canopy was diminished. This
section's tree canopy consisted of weak, damaged, diseased trees or trees with weak root systems. 200
trees toppled over and obstructed the public rights -of -way. Losing these trees has made this section
devoid of significant tree protection/canopy from impending hurricane/storm events. For this reason,
the City of Miami is requesting a grant in the amount of $75,000 from the Urban and Community
Forestry Grant Program. Grant as well as matching funds in the amount of $18,750 will be used to
replant trees in this area. A total of $93,750 dollars will be used for this project.
