Indianola Community Trees
Adopt-a-Tree Program
Spring 2010 Registration
Dates
March 15 - April 9
Shade trees are offered each year on a
first-come, first-served basis until approximately 40 trees have been
adopted. For a $25 adoption fee ($37 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.
