CPS Energy, San Antonio's municipally owned utility, is celebrating Earth Day this year by giving away 1,200 trees for free.
In partnership with San Antonio’s Park and Recreation Department, CPS will host a tree adoption event this Saturday at Woodlawn Lake Park. The the trees are available from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each adoptee will receive a 1-gallon tree, tree guides and supply bags.
Trees create shade and lower ambient temperatures, which can actually lower residential electric bills by 25% if positioned correctly in a yard, according to CPS officials, citing U.S. Department of Energy data.
The utility also offers a rebate to customers who plant shade trees on their property.
