Pella is hoping to recover lost tree canopy in the community through a new rebate program beginning March 1st.

Pella Community Services Director Jeanette Vaughan tells KNIA/KRLS News residents are able to apply for rebates on tree purchases on an annual basis. She says the program was created due to the declining population of trees in the community.

Find out how to qualify for the City of Pella Tree Rebate program by visiting their website and attending an informational meeting on Thursday, February 15th at 6:30 p.m. in the Pella Community Center.
