Industrial Credit Union is planting at least 1,900 trees in Whatcom County as part of Project Preservation, its effort to reduce the use of paper statements by its members.

ICU is planting a tree for each of its 20,000 members who sign up for E-Statements rather than paper statements detailing their account activity. The credit union is utilizing the expertise and volunteer crews of the Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association to plant trees along salmon-bearing streams at sites throughout the county. ICU employees are among the volunteers planting the trees.

ICU, founded in 1941, is a not-for-profit cooperative financial institution that is owned and controlled by its members. Anyone who lives or works in the state of Washington is eligible for membership. For more information, call 734-2043 or visit www.industrialcu.org.
