The Milwaukee Bucks and American Transmission Co. (ATC) hosted their first tree planting ceremony today at Milwaukee’s McGovern Park, where 20 new trees were added around the park’s basketball courts to replace diseased trees that had been removed. The event was the first of many such plantings that will take place this spring and fall as the organizations fulfill their promise of 355 new trees across the region as a result of this season’s Trees for Threes initiative.
The partnership, which was launched last fall with the goal of creating more green spaces in Wisconsin for future generations to enjoy, pledged one new tree for every 3-pointer the Bucks hit at home this season.
