Our Right of Way department is more affectionately known to our members
as the Tree Trimming Department because sometimes we have to trim trees
around power lines to help ensure that your power and your neighbors' power
will not be interrupted.
Each NAEC member agrees in the membership application to grant us a Right
of Way easement, giving us permission to cut and keep clear all trees within
an unsafe distance from the power lines.
NAEC uses pruning techniques that are recommended by the International
Society of Arboriculture, the American National Standards Institute, and
the National Arbor Day Foundation to ensure the health of your trees.
