City receives $4,500 for trees News · February 16, 2017
West Branch Public Works Director Matt Goodale completed another successful application for the Alliant Energy “Branching Out” Grant, according to the City of West Branch web site.
The City applied for this grant last November and was recently notified that we will be the recipient of a $4,500 grant for the spring planting season. This project will be set for completion during this year’s Earth Day Celebration and will involve planting Red Oaks, Sweet Gum, Tulip Tree and Autumn Blaze Maples along East and West Main Street.
Volunteers will plant the trees in the right-of-way to be cared for by the city.
“The planting will be a volunteer event and we hope to include city staff, high school students and any community members who are interested in attending,” read the web site.
For more information, or if one would like to attend, you may contact Public Works Director Matt Goodale (319) 325-8213 for details.
Alliant Energy works in cooperation with Trees Forever to provide communities with grants up to $10,000 for public tree replacements or new installation.
