INDIANA – The Indiana Natural Resources Foundation and the Division of Forestry were recently joined by Huston Solar to plant 2,000 trees in Morgan-Monroe State Forest.
Part of a successful year for the Indiana Tree Project, the day in the forest created a lasting impact on Indiana’s public lands.
The group of Huston Solar employees and partners traveled from all corners of the state to take part in their first tree planting. Thanks to exceptional preparation, organization, and guidance from the Division of Forestry staff, the group made quick work of adding the saplings to the rolling hills of Indiana’s largest state forest. Part of a successful year for the Indiana Tree Project, the day in the forest created a lasting impact on Indiana’s public lands.
Huston’s inspiration for partnering with the INRF and supporting the Indiana Tree Project is rooted in environmentally friendly initiatives.
“Huston has a green initiative to plant one tree for every kilowatt of solar installed,” said Chris Boyles, solar division manager at Huston Solar. “Partnering with the INRF was the most efficient way to accomplish this goal.”
While Huston Electric has operated in the Hoosier state for more than 80 years, Huston Solar is a relatively new division for the company. As they continue their venture into the solar energy space, Huston seeks to give back and have a meaningful impact on Indiana communities. The Indiana Tree Project is a perfect fit for their goals because its work will benefit Hoosiers for generations to come.
The trees planted by Indiana Tree Project volunteers last spring will continue to grow, and as they do, so will Indiana’s natural legacy. The generous support of donors and partners helps protect and preserve that legacy for generations to come.
