More Information about the Program
The Arbor Day Foundation is the world’s largest membership nonprofit dedicated to planting trees. Its Energy-Saving Trees program helps utility providers across the nation distribute free trees to their customers, while providing the knowledge of where best to plant them.
The “Energy-Saving Trees” online tool shares the annual energy savings that will result from planting trees in the most strategic location near your home or business.
The online tool was created by the Arbor Day Foundation and the Davey Institute, a division of Davey Tree Expert Co., and uses peer-reviewed scientific research from the USDA Forest Service’s i-Tree software to calculate estimated environmental benefits. In addition to providing approximate energy savings, the tool estimates the trees’ other benefits, including cleaner air, reduced carbon emissions and filtered storm water.
