More Communities Benefit From DP&L Grants, 'Right Tree, Right Place' Program

DP&L

It is the time of year when homeowners think about landscaping and lawn maintenance. And some of them may plant new trees. Dayton Power & Light has a few things they’re asking residents to keep in mind when planting their trees.  Holly Wiggins is the director of community and corporate social responsibility and DP&L. In this excerpt from WYSO Weekend, we talked to her about the company’s Right Tree, Right Place program and this year’s recipients of the annual grant funding that DP&L provides area communities.
