Springfield community partners with Eversource to plant trees across the city
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Arbor Day was in April, but Springfield continues to plant trees across the City of city of Springfield, with its Parks and Recreation Department and Forestry Department, joined Eversource in planting trees around the city on Monday. Springfield continues storm cleanup after heavy rainfall Springfield was designated a 'Tree City' by the Arbor Day Foundation back in 1986, and nearly 40 years later, they are still focusing on the environment. Residents were able to pre-select trees as part of Eversource's partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation and their Energy Saving Tree Program. 'It's really heartwarming to me,' said Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. 'The response people are pouring in here to pick up the trees they signed up for.' Eversource provided 1000 free trees to residents in their coverage areas, including about 200 to customers in Springfield. Not only are the trees beneficial for the environment, but they are also beneficial for residents' energy bills. The Energy Saving Tree Program helps to educate residents on picking the best tree for them. 'And it maximizes benefits for energy saving,' said Michael Babineau, Vegetation Management Supervisor with Eversource. 'So some trees provide shade in the summertime or wind break in the wintertime, and help reduce costs on their energy.' Eversource said the 'Right Tree, Right Place' mentality is important when planting new trees. The program's website made it easy for residents. 'It would provide back information on energy saving, cost benefits, and if it's compatible or not based on sun exposure, being near the power lines, and other factors,' Babineau said. 'It's a benefit for them as an individual resident, it's a benefit for the city to get more green canopy in an urban setting. And it's a benefit for Eversource to help educate people on the 'Right Tree, Right Place.'' The trees were of many varieties, including fruit trees, shade trees, and other bushes.

Eyewitness Weather for April 24 — 70s this week, 80s next week!
HERE IS YOUR EYEWITNESS WEATHER FORECAST FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 24 FROM CHIEF METEOROLOGIST JORDAN REED: A weather system is passing through southern Canada, which might trigger a few showers and maybe an isolated thunderstorm this afternoon and evening, mainly for areas near and north of the New York State Thruway, like the Adirondacks! There could even be some gusty winds if one of those strong showers moves through. Tonight, through Arbor Day tomorrow, a frontal boundary will linger around, keeping the chance of a few spotty showers alive, again mostly north of the New York State Thruway. Friday itself will be unseasonably warm again, with more upper 70s and lower 80s expected in the valleys. Then, Friday night into Saturday, a cold front will move in and bring widespread rain—most places can expect a good soaking, around a half to three-quarters of an inch. The steadiest rain will fall late Friday night into Saturday morning, tapering off later in the day. It will also get breezy behind that front, especially Saturday afternoon and night, with gusts up to 40 mph possible in some spots like Mohawk Valley. Temperatures will cool down noticeably by Saturday evening. By Sunday, we're looking at drier but breezy weather, with wind gusts again likely over 25 mph. Things calm down by Sunday night as high pressure builds in, bringing dry and mild weather for Monday into early Tuesday. But Tuesday could bring another round of showers by the afternoon, along with very warm temperatures—some spots could even hit 80 degrees. Things should dry out again by Wednesday.
