The TEP mantra on this program is pretty simple: Plant a tree. Create shade. Conserve Energy. To that end, TEP has re-launched its urban forestry shade trees program. The new Trees for You program is designed to help us reduce our energy consumption by planting shade trees. Mrs. Green loves that! TEP is now partnering with Civano Nursery and other local nurseries to help homeowners, schools, neighborhoods and community groups plant shade trees to save energy and cool and beautify our community. Join us to learn from Nikole and Leslie just how to go about participating in this program and why tree conservation matters so much in this desert of ours.  This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Electric Power Company.
