We help utilities work with nature

Electricity plays an essential role in our lives. It keeps us comfortable, allows us to communicate globally, powers our work, improves our quality of life, and significantly impacts public safety. Ensuring safe and reliable power to customers is a primary goal of every utility. The utility delivers that electricity through a system of poles and wires that exist in nature. Nature is also essential to our lives. VerdeCare helps utilities make good decisions where electricity and nature interface.

The linear forest

Utility rights-of-way bridge our communities through millions of miles of linear forest. Taken as a whole, this “utility forest” represents more land coverage in the US than most national parks. Although designed to support the electric grid, this narrow but essential piece of real estate supports a functioning ecosystem. Many different organisms call an easement or right-of-way home; pollinators, migratory birds, native plants, and trees. VerdeCare believes that utility vegetation plans can deliver safe, reliable power to our communities while maximizing the benefits these natural areas can provide to both people and nature.
