RAPID CITY, S.D. Black Hills Energy will be giving away 1,000 free trees this Earth Day as part of their Energy-Saving Trees Initiative in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation.
BHE has been putting on this program since 2014 and has planted nearly 8,000 energy-saving trees since. A strategically-placed tree can save a homeowner up to 20% on energy costs all year long.
Marc Eyre, Vice President of Operations for Black Hills Energy, said, “You just kinda think about the prevailing winds in the winter time. Evergreen trees, they’re kinda building a wind block, you can cut down on some of the wind there and reduce your heating costs. And then in the summer the thing to think about is if you can have something that’s blocking the hot afternoon sun in the summertime, [which] reduces your cooling costs.”
