Entergy Corporation is teaming up with the Arbor Day Foundation to provide 10,000 free trees to Entergy residential customers in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and New Orleans. The effort is part of the Arbor Day Foundation's pilot Energy-Saving Trees program aimed at helping conserve energy through strategic tree planting.

Entergy customers can reserve their free trees at Entergy.com/arborday starting today. In return for the free trees, customers must agree to plant them in a location that will reduce their energy consumption and care for them. Click here to watch a video of how to sign up!

"Entergy applauds the efforts of the Arbor Day Foundation to link energy efficiency, environmental stewardship and new technology embodied in the Energy Saving Trees program.  We are excited at the prospect of helping our customers reduce their energy consumption while helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions through tree planting," says Brent Dorsey, Director, Corporate Environmental Programs.

To help customers choose the most strategic location to plant their tree, the Energy-Saving Trees program provides customers with access to an online tool. The tool allows customers to map their house, select a tree with energy-saving potential, view the best energy-saving locations to plant and receive an estimate of the annual savings they will receive as the tree grows. The 2- to 4-foot-tall trees will then be delivered directly to the customer to plant this fall in the designated location.
