STAYING COOL FOR FREE!

That's right.  Stay cool for FREE!  As a Sacramento Municipal Utility District customer your home may be eligible to receive up to ten (10) FREE shade trees.  SMUD has partnered with the Sacramento Tree Foundation to help homeowners reduce their energy bills through good old fashioned shade. 

Not only does planting trees provide shade to cool your home and yard, but it is an easy way for homeowners to make a positive impact on the environment.  Trees help remove the carbon dioxide from our air and produces oxygen in return.  Best of all, it's fully automated!  You plant them and they do it naturally.

To get up to ten free trees you must contact the Sacramento Tree Foundaton and make an appointment with a Community Forester.  The Forester will come to your home and site the best locations for your trees to provide maximum shade protection for your home.  Approximately ten days after the Forester's visit the trees will be delivered along with instructions for proper planting.  Then, all you need to do is plant them.  As the trees mature you will begin to recognize savings. In fact, as the trees mature you may receive savings of up to 40% on your home's cooling cost. 

Call the Sacramento Tree Foundation today at 916-924-8733 to do your part to help the environment and reduce your energy bills with free shade trees.
