Plant-a-Tree SHADE TREE DISCOUNTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR SPRING, 2012.
The program provides a 40% discount on shade trees purchased by CFU electric customers. To use the program, purchase one or more trees from the approved species list at a participating nursery. Ask the nursery to give you the Cedar Falls TREES Plant-A-Tree discount. This program is easy to use, because you don't need an application or a rebate form. You simply receive the discount when you pay for your tree(s), provided funds have not been exhausted for the season. Discounts are available spring and fall. The maximum discount is $100 per family per year. Available to Cedar Falls Utilities electric customers on a first come, first served basis. • More Details
Neighborhood Grant Get your neighbors together and save up to 60% on shade trees! This cost-sharing program is for any neighborhood in Cedar Falls where several residents want to add trees to their properties. Cedar Falls TREES works with volunteers from the neighborhood to publicize the program, take tree orders and get competitive bids from two or more local nurseries. We provide planting instructions and deliver the trees to your driveway on planting day. We also pay up to 60% of the cost of the trees, typically saving $2,000 - $4,000 for each neighborhood that participates. The program is great for new subdivisions and for revitalizing trees in older neighborhoods. • More Details
