Our main programs include:

Iowans looking for a cost-effective, yet eye-pleasing way to reduce home heating and cooling costs are encouraged  to participate in Operation ReLeaf. Operation Releaf is a residential tree planting program that promotes long-term energy and natural resource conservation. 

Operation ReLeaf is a partnership initiative funded by Alliant Energy and administered by the Iowa DNR Forestry Bureau with assistance from local partners, including county conservation boards and county extension offices. 

Through the program, nearly 2,400 high quality landscape trees will be offered this spring to Alliant Energy residential customers for just $25.00 each. These trees typically retail between $65 and $125, and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.  

Alliant Energy will sponsor Operation ReLeaf events this spring in the following counties:

Allamakee County Benton County  
Dickinson County Greene County
Jefferson County  

We will also be holding 30 minute tree planting and care workshops in Benton and Greene counties. To register, please click on a link below:
