Delmarva Power and the Arbor Day Foundation Offer Free Trees to Enhance Energy Efficiency

Delmarva Power will provide 700 free trees to residential customers across its service area on a first-come, first-served basis, with a variety of species native to the northeast region available, including Baldcypress, River Birch, Eastern Redbud, Red Maple, and Flowering Dogwood. Customers can visit arborday.org/delmarva to reserve a tree while supplies last and enjoy the long-term energy-saving benefits trees provide. Delmarva Power also reminds customers to check what's below the ground and call 811 before digging to have underground utility lines marked.

Overall, these trees will have a vital role in shielding homes from the summer sun and mitigating the chill of winter winds, resulting in improved energy efficiency. Additionally, they improve the quality of the air residents breathe. Customers can access interactive online tools from the Arbor Day Foundation to help them determine the best locations for planting trees to maximize energy savings.

Delmarva Power has also been a Tree Line USA member for more than 20 years. Tree Line USA is a partnership between the Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters that recognizes public and private utilities for pursuing best practices that protect and cultivate America's urban tree canopy.
