MANCHESTER, CT — Eversource Energy partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to distribute over 160 trees to local residents at the public works yard on Friday.
As part of the initiative to celebrate Arbor Day, Eversource demonstrated its “continuing dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship.” In collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation, they aimed to hand out over 1,000 complimentary trees to consumers residing in various chosen towns throughout their three-state operational area via the non-profit’s creative programs.

This year, residents of Manchester and Torrington could secure a free tree on a first-come, first-served basis. The program provided participants with an online tool where they could examine their properties and identify optimal spots for planting trees to enhance energy efficiency. Additionally, this platform enabled individuals to estimate both the ecological advantages and potential yearly financial savings from these plantings.
Customers who qualified were allowed to reserve one free tree per household as part of the program’s offerings.
