Fall tree planting (MidAmerican 2026 Trees Please Grant)
Summary
Summer storms toppled mature trees in Penn Meadows and damaged ash trees elsewhere; crews did extensive lift work on trails, ball fields, and a resident's hazardous tree. The MidAmerican Trees Please grant will fund fall planting, including replacements for the lost trees, with a new supplier needed since Lewis Brothers tree farm is closing.
