City receives grant for new trees
The City of Marshfield recently received a $3,000 grant from American Transmission Co.’s Community Planting Program to plant 30 trees in the terrace near the Marshfield Fairgrounds off of S. Peach Ave.
“We’re excited to enhance aesthetics of the area, reduce snow drifting, and create a calming effect to encourage slower traffic speeds," said City Forester Mark Ryskiewicz. With the help of volunteers, the Forestry Division will begin planting in the spring of 2021.
The City recognizes trees and vegetation are among the features that make communities special places for residents and visitors. ATC’s Community Planting Program enables us to encourage and support communities to plant trees and vegetation that will beautify communities in a way that doesn’t compromise the safety and reliability of the electric transmission system.
ATC has awarded more than 265 communities and organizations with funds totaling nearly $500,000 since 2013.
Formed in 2001 as the nation’s first multi-state transmission-only utility, American Transmission Co. is a Wisconsin-based company that owns and operates 9,921 miles of electric transmission lines and 577 substations in portions of Wisconsin.
