Request an Energy Saving Tree!

ReGreen Springfield is partnering with the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and the City of Springfield in an effort to plant trees in your yard that can help to reduce energy consumption in your own home.  This program is available to you at no cost, and will provide you with one or more trees in your yard that will help to reduce your energy consumption… saving you money, while providing environmental benefits.

This free tree planting program is available for homes located within the tornado affected area of Springfield.

The correct placement of a tree near your residence can help to reduce the amount of energy needed to cool, and in many cases, heat your home.  Simple benefits, such as providing shade over your air conditioner can provide up to a 20% efficiency improvement.  Other direct benefits can be obtained by planting trees, and Regreen Springfield hopes to help plant over 500 trees on private property this summer.

Click ”Submit a Request” below to receive a tree for your yard!  Act now as tree availability is limited.
