Wisconsin Tree Planting Hits Milestone

Sunday, April 27th, 2025 -- 10:30 AM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) -Over 10 million trees were planted in Wisconsin last year.

Governor Tony Evers announced the milestone as part of an update on Wisconsin’s Trillion Trees Pledge. Evers says the state also conserved over 57,000 acres of forestland in 2024. In 2021, Evers pledged to plant 75 million new trees and conserve 125,000 acres of forest by the end of 2030, but he upped that goal last year to 100 million trees.

The recently announced milestone means Wisconsin has reached 40% of its tree planting goal and 60% of its forest conservation goal.
