Everyone loves trees. Trees provide beauty and shade, serve as wind, noise and visual barriers, help reduce energy usage, reduce airborne pollutants, and increase property values. Trees that touch or fall on power lines can cause wildfires, power outages, property damage, or personal injury.

ECOEC's Right of Way Maintenance Program is designed to prevent trees from coming into contact with power lines. All lines are routinely inspected for vegetation, and pruning is performed on a regular cycle. Trees native to Oklahoma produce as much as 72" (six feet!) of re-growth each year.
