Getting Started

The Process
A Lull then a Tsunami
Electric utility bill insert changed everything
6 Week Time period
March 31st…17 customers to date
First insert delivered

March 6th…150th customer
Discussions to suspend new site visits
March 10th, after 180th customer , new applications were suspended
Lessons Learned
Patience required. Shortages of everything were a factor Trees should be ordered during Fall and Winter for best availability Inventory tracking process needs improvement
Utility inserts need to be spread out over months
Tree species offered should be reduced to around 30 from 50 Capturing true costs needs addressing
Program would be better served with more volunteers
Mission Accomplished

33 species
191 customers
2,212,046 pounds of carbon sequestration over 30 years ** Within budget
** Estimated assuming survival of all trees
