Operation Cool Shade

Mohave Electric Cooperative, together with the City of Bullhead City, is once again sponsoring Operation Cool Shade. Operation Cool Shade encourages the use of shade trees to help manage energy and save energy dollars by reducing air conditioning usage. Four different types of desert-adapted shade trees are available to Cooperative members for the low price of $9 per tree. As an added bonus, Mohave Electric will include a free energy saving, LED light bulb with each tree purchased. 1,800 trees will be available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis. The varieties offered, Willow Acacia, Shoestring Acacia, Chaste and Rosewood, are all recommended as being well-suited for our climate by the Master Gardeners of Bullhead City. Operation Cool Shade tree sales will begin September 13, at Mohave Electric’s Member Service office, 928 Hancock Road, Bullhead City. Business hours are Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Members receive LEDs at time of tree purchase. One LED bulb will be included with each tree purchased, limit of four trees per member.
