DNR and Alliant Energy partnering to provide trees

Alliant Energy residential customers can purchase landscaping trees for their homes at a deep discount this spring. Customers may reserve up to two trees and pick them up at Operation ReLeaf events in Allamakee, Benton, Clarke, Dickinson, Dubuque, Greene, Linn, Muscatine and Wayne counties through May.

For maximum energy efficiency, trees should be planted within 30 feet of the east and west sides of the house. Evergreens should be planted as a windbreak on the north and west sides. Operation ReLeaf is an Alliant Energy program administered by the Iowa DNR with assistance from partners. Order forms and tree species are available at alliantenergy.com/releaf.
