We’re growing something great in Aurelia! 🌳
Aurelia Hometown Pride, in partnership with the City of Aurelia and Aurelia Kiwanis, has planted our first of two groups of trees funded by MidAmerican Energy’s Trees Please! program and matched by the City and Aurelia Municipal Utilities.

These trees are a community investment to green up Aurelia - providing shade, improving air quality, conserving energy, and enhancing the beauty of our town for years to come.
What an exciting partnership! A BIG thank you to everyone who helped make this effort a reality. And a special shoutout to Del’s Garden Center for your generous support!

Here’s to a greener Aurelia! 💚🌱
