Funds awarded town to replant street trees

Coulee Dam will get state and federal help planting new trees on a street it clear cut last summer.

The state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced this week it will award Coulee Dam $71,180 for the work.

The project is designed to restore and enhance Ferry Avenue’s tree canopy. More than 30 90-year-old maples were removed unexpectedly during a sidewalk replacement project in 2023.
