Utility-friendly trees available through
partnership with Operation 1000 Cherry Tree Project
Dayton Power and Light (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES
Corporation (NYSE: AES), is offering residential customers,
neighborhoods and Tree City USA communities an opportunity to plant
beautiful and utility-friendly trees through DP&L’s Right Tree
Right Place program, which kicked off its fall campaign today.
The Right Tree Right Place program encourages DP&L customers
to consider the impact on the safety and reliability of electric
service when making decisions regarding tree selection and
placement. Planting smart with the utilities in mind prevents
potential problems that could result in outages.
DP&L is giving away 150 utility-friendly trees through our
participating partner nurseries – Angle’s Nursery (Bellefontaine),
Knollwood Garden Center and Landscaping, North Dayton Garden
Center, Siebenthaler’s Garden Centers (Beavercreek and Centerville)
and Stockslager’s Greenhouse and Garden Center. The first 25
customers at each location Saturday, October 17 will take home a
free utility-friendly tree.
“Dayton Power & Light is excited to work alongside our
customers to enrich the beauty of our communities while ensuring
the safety and reliability of your electric service,” said DP&L
President and CEO Tom Raga. “One of our goals is to protect the
environment, Right Tree Right Place is another way DP&L
supports conservation efforts and improves the aesthetics of our
tree canopies.”
DP&L is also offering neighborhoods and groups of small
businesses an opportunity to plant ornamental cherry trees through
a partnership with the Operation 1000 Cherry Tree Project, an
effort to thank Ohio for providing aid to Japan following the 2011
earthquake and tsunami. The deadline for neighborhoods to enter is
Friday, October 9.
Additionally, DP&L is offering two community environmental
grants (each totaling $50,000) for Tree City USA communities to
plant trees and enhance city parks or public areas. The deadline
for applying for the community grants is January 31, 2016.
More information and applications for communities and
neighborhoods are available at www.dpandl.com/righttree.
