BALTIMORE (AP) -- An energy company is spending $300,000 to help plant trees in Baltimore.
Constellation Energy is committing the money over the next three years to help with tree planting and maintenance for existing trees.
Constellation's contribution will support the planting of 1,000 more trees, according to information provided by the city.
The city held a tree planting event Saturday and gave away free trees to residents.
The city is planting trees not only to provide shade but also in the hope of saving on energy costs and lessening the impacts of global warming.
