Alliant Energy is making Iowa and Wisconsin a little brighter and greener one tree at a time. Through its One Million Trees initiative, Alliant has pledged to plant 1 million trees by 2030 — and is well on its way, with January marking over 600,000 trees planted. Alliant continues to work toward this goal by offering landscaping trees at a discounted cost, replacing trees after timber harvests and storms, and partnering with Trees Forever to support tree-planting projects in communities throughout Iowa and Wisconsin.
