Free Tree ReLeaf

Get your free tree & see the benefits!

Give your lawn a fresh new addition during the Free Tree ReLeaf program. EPB has teamed up with Reflection Riding and the City of Chattanooga to offer new trees to households like yours. And best of all – it’s completely free. Mature trees provide cooling shade that can help lower your energy bills. Plus, trees help protect the environment by providing food and natural habitats for local wildlife, and reducing soil erosion, which decreases the volume of stormwater runoff.

Qualifications

Does everyone get a free tree?

If your home is located within the EPB service area, and you receive your electricity from EPB, then you qualify to receive a free tree for planting.* Reflection Riding staff will also verify your qualifications on site when you visit.

*Subject to availability, while supplies last
