Public power utilities face growing expectations to deliver on energy efficiency, customer satisfaction, and community resilience — often with limited internal resources. Trees can play a powerful role in meeting these objectives when strategically integrated into utility initiatives.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how community tree distribution programs are being implemented by utilities across the country to:

  • Support right-tree-right-place energy savings

  • Strengthen customer relationships through visible, positive engagement

  • Advance water conservation and urban forestry goals

  • Provide clear metrics and reporting to demonstrate impact

You’ll hear how a turnkey approach can reduce the burden on staff while still delivering meaningful outcomes for utilities, customers, and communities alike.

Speakers:

  • Kristen Bousquet, Senior Manager of Utility Partnerships, Arbor Day Foundation

  • Leigh Martin, Urban Forester, City of Edmond

  • Amber Rockwell, Community, Outreach, Relations, and Education Manager, City of Banning Electric Utility
