ECE has been named a Tree Line USA Utility for the fifth year in recognition of its leadership in caring for trees while meeting service objectives.

 The Tree Line USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and recognizes utilities that meet three requirements:

·         A program of quality tree care

·         Annual worker training in quality tree care practices

·         A tree planting and public education program

 “Across America, people are recognizing and celebrating how vital trees are to our cities and towns,” said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation.

 “Trees help reduce peak demand by conserving energy. They also clean the air and water, increase property value, and make our homes comfortable, livable places. Tree Line USA utilities deserve recognition for their commitment to providing safe, efficient service, while helping protect and preserve community trees.”
