Alliant Energy announced in a recent press release that 12 Wisconsin communities will receive grants totaling nearly $60,000 from the Alliant Energy Foundation’s Community Tree Planting program, part of the One Million Trees initiative.
Alliant Energy partners with Trees Forever to help communities develop, select, and plant a diverse mix of trees. A tree expert helps communities select the best species for their areas and create care and maintenance plans.
Across Wisconsin, communities are eligible to apply for grants up to $5,000 to fund new trees.
Among communities awarded grants this year are Edgerton, Fitchburg, and Windsor. Some communities will begin to plant trees this spring, while others will wait until fall.
