The University of Iowa Community Credit Union is helping to restore the greenery in Benton County.

During September, the credit union sponsored a matching campaign which raised $1965 for the Trees Forever Recover, Replant & Restore Program.

The storm that struck Benton and surrounding counties on July 11, 2011 destroyed more than 75% of the trees in the City of Vinton.

Bolin, and UICCU Vinton branch manager Rae Dugan.
