Wisconsin communities to receive grants from Alliant Energy

Alliant Energy named 14 Wisconsin communities to receive grants totaling $50,000 through the company’s Community Tree Planting program, part of its One Million Trees initiative.  Across Wisconsin, communities are eligible to apply for grants up to $5,000 to fund new trees for planting projects on public land. Among the communities awarded grants this year are Baraboo/Devil’s Lake receiving $3,000; the City of Baraboo $3,000; Boscobel $4,000; and Platteville receiving $4,700.

Alliant Energy partners with Trees Forever to help communities develop, select and plant a diverse mix of trees. A tree expert works with the communities to select the best species for their areas and create care and maintenance plans to ensure the new trees have long, healthy lives.
