EDISON DONATES TREES
March 3, 2006
The southern California subsidiary of Edison International is giving 50,000 trees to help the city of Irvine, Calif., convert a former Marine base into parkland, the Los Angeles Times reports. The electric-utility company owns 20,000 acres of property in the Sierra Nevada, from which it will donate enough trees over the next 10 years to cover approximately half of the forestry project. The retail value of one young tree is estimated to be between $20 and $50.
