Organizations Filed Purposes:
Plant, protect and promote trees all over the greater Houston area.
Trees For Houston grows, plants and maintains trees throughout the greater Houston area. Mission related activities include outdoor and in-class educational programming, volunteer projects, and urban forestry information, as well as the management of three tree farms.
Trees For Houston's projects include purchasing, planting and caring for trees. The organization's role in any given project varies greatly, as the needs and abilities of our various partners in the public and private sectors are engaged in the process.The organization works with public and private sectors, encourages the involvement of corporate, foundation and individual partners and is responsible for the planting of over 614,000 trees and seedlings in the last 37 years along streets, in neighborhoods, and parks throughout the Houston region. During the 2019-2020 planting season, Trees For Houston planted and maintained 14,735 trees and watered an additional 5,207 under its planned maintenance program.
The Trees For Houston Nursery program allows the organization to further lower tree and transportation costs, gives the ability to grow more trees rather than having to purchase them on a per project basis, and ultimately helps us get more trees in the ground in areas where neighborhoods cannot afford trees. Trees For Houston's nursery program includes three tree farms. We currently have about 15,000 trees of various species and sizes growing at these farms.
More than 790 public and private schools have over 44,000 trees thanks to our Trees for Schools program. Schools are chosen based on recommendations from parents, teachers, principals, neighbors, and administrators. Trees For Houston surveys the school grounds with the school staff to determine the number and species of trees that should be planted.After the trees are planted, Trees For Houston waters, stakes, and mulches the trees for a minimum of two years to ensure their survival. This year, the Trees for Schools program planted and maintained 768 trees at 22 Houston area school grounds.
