What is Energy-Saving Trees?
Energy-Saving Trees is designed to provide homeowners with trees they can reserve and plant on their property – getting the right tree in the right place. We do this through an online mapping tool powered by iTree technology that takes the guesswork out of tree planting, by helping identify the ideal location for energy savings.
When you partner with the Arbor Day Foundation we’ll work with you from start to finish, customer outreach to tree delivery. The benefits of the Energy-Saving Trees program are numerous. Not only are you able to provide your customers with free trees, you also generate positive media attention and public awareness for the work you are doing in the communities where you live.
We look forward to showing you the Energy-Saving Trees tool and building a program that works for you. Together we will create happier homeowners and healthier cities, while cleaning the air and water! Sign up for a free demo below.
