Benton PUD receives Tree Line USA Award
Benton PUD was honored with the Tree Line USA Award for the ninth consecutive year. The Tree Line USA Award was founded by The National Arbor Day Foundation to recognize utilities for national leadership in utility arboriculture. The award is based on utilities commitment to quality tree care, public education and tree planting.
Benton PUD’s tree program was developed to ensure Benton PUD provided quality tree care practices and help customers plant the appropriate trees near utility lines. The benefits of the program have been healthier trees, less outages and long-term savings to Benton PUD.
April is Earth Month
April in the Mid-Columbia is traditionally a time to clean up, or get involved to help make our community a little greener and a little cleaner. New this year, is Earth Pledge, an on-line registration that tracks and features local pledges for Earth Month.
It offers the same activities of years past, such as clean-up projects and contests, as well as new ways to get involved and make a positive impact on the environment. Users can select or pledge their month-long commitment, including recycling, traveling green, composting, conserving water or energy and more. At the end of the month, participants report their results and in return, the first 1,000 individuals will receive an earth-friendly canvas tote bag or a Western White Pine Conifer Seedling. Large groups will receive a tree to plant in their honor. For more information, visit www.earthmonthmc.org
