CenterPoint Energy giving away free trees as part of energy-saving program

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Need a tree at your home or business? CenterPoint Energy has got you covered.

The utilities company is planting 2,000 trees through Arbor Day.

The program, Energy-Saving Trees, is uniquely designed to help residents better understand where to plant trees on their property in order to conserve energy and maximize savings.

This program is made possible by the collaboration between the Arbor Day Foundation and CenterPoint Energy.

Residents must be located within CenterPoint Energy service territory to qualify.

In addition, residents are expected to pick the trees up at a location just south of the University of Houston main campus. A large pickup truck is suggested for pickup.

You can reserve up to two free trees at Energy-Saving Trees.
