50 million trees and counting: Wisconsin passes the halfway mark on its 100-million pledge

Wisconsin has planted its 50 millionth tree under a pledge to reach 100 million by 2030, protect 125,000 acres of forest and add a million trees in towns and cities. The tally is a team effort — schools, municipalities, nonprofits, forest owners and residents planting side by side. Seed orders for the spring 2027 season are already open for anyone who wants to push the number higher.
