The City of Washington recently received a $5,000 grant to plant 47 trees. 

Alliant Energy named 23 Iowa communities, to receive grants totaling over $95,000 through the company’s Community Tree Planting program, part of its 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 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.   

Since 1990, Trees Forever and Alliant Energy have awarded over $8 million in grants and planted more than 1.1 million trees through their partnership and programs.
