Planting trees in the communities we serve.

Cuivre River Electric Cooperative and its power supplier, Central Electric Power Cooperative of Jefferson City, team up each year to offer Green Tree Partnership grants to help area communities and organizations plant trees.

“Be sure that planted trees are clear of utility lines,” says Neal Harrell, who coordinates Cuivre River’s portion of the program. “Include a map or drawing of planting locations, tree type and proximity to utility lines.” Grants may also be used to match funds for other programs, such as the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Tree Resource Improvement and Maintenance program and the Department of Highway and Transportation’s Transportation Enhancement program..
