St. Croix Electric Cooperative maintains nearly 800 miles of overhead lines and works on a 5-year tree trimming rotation based on groups of townships within our service territory.
A two-man crew from Zielies Tree Service takes to the air and to the ground to be sure the 10-foot Utility Maintenance Area (UMA) around the lines is clear.
Until 2022 it was a Badger-logoed (BUCS - Badger Unified Cooperative Services - disbanded earlier this year) truck making the rounds. Although the service is now provided by a different company, Foreman Brad continues to head the crew assigned to SCEC.
