Tree Line USA Award

Richland Electric Cooperative has been named a Tree Line USA utility for the seventh consecutive year by the National Arbor Day Foundation. The award is the result of the hard work and dedication of our employees and contractors to use proper tree cutting and maintenance practices while still meeting the service commitments of our members. It's one more example of how we follow the seventh cooperative principle, concern for community.
