Shade trees are offered each year on a
first-come, first-served basis until approximately 40 trees have been
adopted. For a $20 adoption fee ($32 if you choose to have it staked,
tied, and mulched), a homeowner in Indianola can choose a tree from
selected species on a list and get a tree planted at the location of
their choice on their property.
This program is being offered by the
Indianola Community Tree Committee, Indianola Municipal Utilities, and
MidAmerican Energy Co.
MidAmerican Energy customers in Iowa are eligible to
purchase trees for $25 each (
with the remaining
cost funded through a grant from MidAmerican Energy).
Tree purchase is initially limited to two trees per household to ensure
all customers have an opportunity to purchase trees. Advanced purchase
is recommended. In the event additional trees are available on
distribution day, they will be released for purchase at 9 a.m. on a
first-come, first-served basis, or until all trees are sold. Trees
must be picked up on Saturday, May 17, 2008, between 9 and 11 a.m.
at Annett Nature Center, 15565 118th Ave., Indianola. Any trees not
picked up by 11 a.m. on distribution day will be considered a donation
to Warren County Conservation Board.
