Atlantic City Electric customers can request a free tree to plant at their home as part of the company’s partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation’s Energy-Saving Trees program. Customers can choose their tree from several types of species native to the northeast region, such as Bald Cypress, River Birch, Eastern Redbud, and Red Maple. Trees will be delivered by mail by the end of May. Visit arborday.org/ace to reserve a tree while supplies last. When planted properly, trees provided through the program have the potential to reduce energy bills by 15 to 30 percent as they grow. Trees also play a critical role in protecting homes from the summer sun and breaking up winter winds for better energy efficiency, in addition to improving the air we breathe.
