MidAmerican Energy customers in Iowa are eligible to purchase trees for $25 each (with the remaining cost funded through a grant from MidAmerican Energy).
Tree purchase is initially limited to two trees per household to ensure all customers have an opportunity to purchase trees. Advanced purchase is recommended. In the event additional trees are available on distribution day, they will be released for purchase at 9 a.m. on a first-come, first-served basis, or until all trees are sold.
Trees must be picked up Saturday, April 26, between 9 and 11 a.m. at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds located at 701 North I St. in Oskaloosa. Any trees not picked up by 11 a.m. on distribution day will be considered a donation to Oskaloosa Trees Forever. Trees are nonrefundable. Exchanges will not be accepted and plant material is under no warranty and/or guarantee.
In exchange for customer participation in this program, the customer agrees that MidAmerican Energy, Iowa DNR, City of Oskaloosa or Oskaloosa Trees Forever shall not be liable, in contract, tort and strict liability or otherwise, for any damages arising out of the administration of this program.
