The Terex Utilities Sustainability Committee donated a mix of trees to Codington County Memorial Park and planted spruce trees on the grounds at the Terex Utilities facility in Watertown. By doing this action, Terex enhanced local ecosystems and supported community green spaces as part of its commitment to sustainability, community engagement and biodiversity initiatives.
Terex has introduced several green solutions to the electric utility market through the years — most recently the HyPower SmartPTO by Viatec and the All-Electric Bucket Truck. These products allow operation of the aerial device without idling the truck engine and they provide utility companies with solutions to meet their carbon emissions reduction goals.
“Today, hybrid and electric bucket trucks from Terex Utilities are working across the United States, Canada and expanding into other international markets,” said Joe Caywood, director of commercial operations for Terex Utilities. “In the same way that utilities are reducing emissions in the communities where they work with this equipment, the tree planting effort is one of many steps Terex is taking to lead the industry in sustainable practices.”
The Terex Sustainability Committee is committed to exploring and promoting environmental stewardship and sustainability. The donation of trees to the local park aligns with Terex’s mission to support and improve the communities in which it operates.
“We want to thank the Codington County Conservation District for their help with this project,” said Alicia Haich, Terex Utilities sustainability champion. “They assisted our committee with local tree recommendations, tree placement and facilitated the donation to Memorial Park.”
