Plant some shade®.

MidAmerican Energy is partnering with the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources in offering our new Plant some shade. residential tree-planting
program. The concept of MidAmerican's Plant some shade. program is to work
with local county conservation boards, resource conservation and development
councils, and/or county extension offices (local project coordinators) to
provide affordable and desirable landscape trees (6-8') for residents to
purchase and plant on their property for long-term community reforestation.
Trees are ordered in bulk numbers from local nurseries to keep costs low and
then distributed at a centralized location to minimize transportation costs.
Investment by residents (1/2 price) is required. Tree recipients are given
instructions and contact names on how to plant and care for their trees.
There is no warranty or guarantee on these trees. The idea of this program
is not only to get new trees planted where they are needed at reduced costs,
but to have residents investing in the purchase of the tree(s) ($25/tree, or
1/2 price), which encourages ownership/maintenance for a long-living tree.
In addition, we will provide safety information so customers avoid planting
under power lines.
Watch our Web site for upcoming spring and fall events. Spring events usually
are posted by the end of April, and fall events usually are posted by the end
of August.
