WHAT:
Registration is now open for two SRP Free Shade Tree Program virtual workshops. The program, offered in partnership with Trees Matter, gives SRP customers two free shade trees after they complete the free online class that teaches them how to maximize the benefits of their trees.
When planted in strategic areas, shade trees can help reduce energy costs by up to 25%, improve air quality, increase property value and support local wildlife. All trees offered through the program are desert-adapted species, including Native Mesquite, Thornless Mesquite, Palo Verde, Willow Acacia, Desert Willow and Lilac Chaste. Participants will learn more about the benefits of each species and how to care for them during the online workshop.
Customers will be notified of the tree pickup date after completing the webinar. In 2025, SRP distributed more than 6,000 free trees to customers. Since the initiative began in 2012, 33,000 customers have planted trees through the SRP Shade Tree Program.
