Also targeted are communities in the Pasadena area including Jacobsville, Riverdale, Chelsea Beach, Pine Haven, Belhaven Beach, Bayside Beach and Woodland Beach.

"There is a direct correlation between tree trimming and the reduction of power outages," stated Kenneth W. DeFontes, BGE vice president for electric transmission and distribution, in a prepared statement.
