SRP Customers Can Earn Two Free Shade Trees This Week and Next Month

Workshop Now Held Online in August and September

WHAT:
SRP Shade Tree Program provides customers with two, free desert-adapted trees to help them save energy, conserve water and beautify their landscapes. Shading a home helps to reduce cooling costs, improve air quality and lower the Valley's heat effect without using a lot of water.

To receive free trees, participants are required to attend a free, online webinar to learn how to best plant and care for the free trees. Space is limited. Reserve a spot by signing up online, at www.srpnet.com/shadetrees. For more information, call (602) 325-1254.

Customers will be notified of the date for a safe, contactless pickup following the webinar. The trees come in 5-gallon containers and range in height from 4 to 6 feet.

WHEN:

Saturday, August 15 at 10 a.m.

Wednesday, August 26 at Noon

Wednesday, September 16 at Noon

DETAILS:
Program requirements:

  • Must be a current residential SRP electric customer and attend a Shade Tree workshop.
  • Have the legal right to plant trees on the property
  • Plant trees on the south, west and east sides of your home
  • Plant trees within 15 feet of exposed exterior walls and windows
  • Have the ability to care for the tree, as needed
  • Have not previously received trees for the property from an SRP shade tree workshop

Before planting a tree, call Arizona811 to find out where existing underground lines are located. One call to this free service notifies the appropriate local utilities, which send technicians to the requested site to mark the approximate location of existing underground lines.
