National Grid this week presented a check for $1,550 to the Town of DeWitt as part of the company’s 10,000 Trees program. The program reimburses municipalities that plant small-to-medium growth trees under utility wires, which prevents utility line conflicts with trees and enhances a municipality’s aesthetic.
Since 2008, National grid has given $13,550 to DeWitt under the 10,000 Trees program, said town sustainability coordinator Christine Manchester.
The most recent check was presented at the town board’s Nov. 13 regular meeting.
