Area of Concern to assist with soil stabilization and wildlife habitat improvements. A

NIFTI Tree Plantings and Maumee RAP Distribution (1993-Present)
The Neighborhood Improvement Foundation of Toledo, Inc. (NIFTI) receives a grant
for more than 50,000 tree seedlings a year to distribute to the general public, schools
around the area, and local businesses and organizations. The companies involved
either donate money to purchase additional seedlings or coordinate seedling
plantings. NIFTI is expanding distribution to parochial as well as public school children
to further develop the program. The Maumee RAP has helped to distribute over 6100
seedlings from 1997 to 2001 at various Earth Day events.
