Free Trees From SMUD
Great News……..more “Free Stuff“!
Free Trees From SMUD
SMUD together with the Sacramento Tree Foundation has planted more than 400,000 trees in the Sacramento area since 1990. Pretty impressive numbers……that’s a lot of shade. SMUD says that shade trees can cut your summer energy bill by as much as 40 percent so that translates to a lot of dollars.
All you have to do to get your free shade tree is call Sacramento Tree Foundation at (916) 924-TREE, or if you just want more info about SMUD’s Sacramento Shade program call (888) 742-SMUD.
Some people might think I sound like a “tree hugger”, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing. Wasn’t it Will Rogers who said ” never met a tree I didn’t like” or was that “a man I didn’t like”? And there’s always that poem teachers all seem to like, “I think that I shall never see……a poem as lovely as a tree”. I never really got that, poems are not that fun anyway, and have you ever seen one that can hold up a tire swing? So “go green” and plant a tree……for free!
