At Dubois REC, we know that reliable power doesn’t happen by accident it takes dedication, hard work, and a commitment to safety. Thats why we make an effort to recognize the incredible efforts of our Townsend Tree crews.

Beyond their daily responsibilities, the Townsend crews play a vital role in long-term system reliability. By proactively trimming trees and maintaining rights-of-way, they help reduce the risk of power disruptions before they happen. Their efforts dont just benefit Dubois REC, the Townsend crews contribute to the overall safety and well-being of our entire community.

Its easy to take electricity for granted until an outage occurs. But behind the scenes, crews are working year-round to ensure our members experience the fewest interruptions possible. Their expertise and commitment help ensure that when you flip a switch, the lights come on.

Tree trimming and right-of-way maintenance may not always be in the spotlight, but these are among the most important aspects of keeping a reliable power grid. Even a single overgrown branch can cause an outage or dangerous conditions. The work these crews do helps prevent fires, outages and potential hazards to the public and our linemen. Additionally, their job requires specialized training and safety measures. From operating heavy equipment to navigating difficult terrain, their work is both physically demanding and technically precise.

At Dubois REC, we believe in recognizing hard work and dedication. The Townsend Tree crews represent the values we hold dear teamwork, service and reliability. Their behind- the-scenes efforts may not always be visible, but their impact is felt every day.

So the next time you see a Townsend crew member out in the field, clearing branches or working after a storm, take a moment to give them a wave or a word of thanks. They are an essential part of keeping Dubois REC strong and we deeply appreciate everything they do.
