Nucor Steel participates in tree-planting initiatives as part of its community outreach and environmental stewardship efforts. This year, Malad City was contacted in April with an offer to plant trees for Nucor’s Community Outreach Program. Plans were made to plant the trees at the Malad City Cemetery in the fall.

Partnering with Tree Utah, on Wednesday, September 24, at 5:00 p.m. volunteers arrived at the cemetery and by 6:00 p.m. ten new trees were planted. 

Members of the Malad City Crew dug the holes for the tree planting, and employees and their families from Nucor Steel, most of whom live in Malad, planted the trees. The Malad Volunteer Fire Department kindly offered to water the trees the night of the planting.

Nucor Steel provides local initiatives through its divisions across the United States, including scholarships; community grants; local volunteering, such as the tree planting initiative; and support for STEM education programs. Malad City has benefited from many of these initiatives, including support for the Pickleball Courts, donations to the Malad Public Schools, and grants for various projects.
