Brunnier Matching Grant Program for planting public trees in Carbondale
With the very generous financial support of Carbondale resident Kay Brunnier, the Kay Brunnier Tree Fund helped to plant over 100 trees in Carbondale starting in 2010.
Many of these trees were planted in remembrance of a loved on or in honor of a person, family, school graduation, or other special event.
Carbondale’s public tree canopy has benefited greatly from the Kay Brunnier Tree Fund and its important contribution to the residents of Carbondale.
