Community Roots

Working toward a cleaner, greener future

Being part of the communities we serve is more than delivering safe, reliable electricity to our customers. We care about the environment and work to preserve it in everything we do.

We’re passionate about pollinators and the positive impact they have on our environment. That’s why we’ve shifted the focus of our Community Roots program and began donating free pollinator-friendly plants to customers throughout our territory. These pollinators give the birds, bees, and butterflies that help sustain our ecosystem, a natural food source. And we’re committed to protecting and preserving them.

In addition to donating pollinators, we use a cost-effective seed mix of native, pollinator plants in our own right-of-way areas. We’ve also partnered with several local organizations to grow pollinators, like this beautiful mountain mint from Edge of the Woods, and distribute some for use in their easements. With pollinators- the maintenance is easy, and benefits are endless. And that’s a win for humans, animals, and the environment!

For more information about pollinators, check out these resources from one of our partners, Audubon Mid-Atlantic.
