One Million Trees residential tree program

Beautify your yard and save energy when you plant a tree.

We've partnered with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Arbor Day Foundation in Wisconsin to offer landscaping trees to our customers for only $25 per tree. The trees usually retail for $75 and they're available on a first-come, first-served basis. This is part of our One Million Trees initiative.

To participate:

Purchase trees in advance. Please note, in Iowa there is a limit of two trees per household, and in Wisconsin there is a limit of one tree per household.
Send the completed order form and payment to the community partner named on the form.
Pick up your trees on the day of distribution in your community. Dates and times are listed below.

Please note:

If you pay for a tree but are unable to pick it up on distribution day, the local county conservation organization will consider your paid fees a donation or your tree will be donated to the community.
To purchase a tree, you must be a residential customer of Alliant Energy in Iowa or Wisconsin.

In 2025, we are excited to have trees available for residents in these Iowa communities.
