Trees for Houston

Founded in 1983, Trees For Houston initially focused its early efforts on planting street trees in the heart of Houston. Now celebrating our 30th anniversary, with nearly half a million trees planted, our organization has evolved into one that grows, plants and maintains thousands of trees across the greater Houston region. While retaining street tree plantings as a core element of our organizational mission, Trees For Houston has methodically expanded its reach, which now includes a wide variety of planting projects ranging from esplanades and trails to parks and schools. As Houstonians, we are fortunate to enjoy the beauty that trees provide to our communities, but they also provide more vital functions, such as filtering harsh pollutants form our air, providing energy conserving shade, controlling storm water runoff and providing habitat for wildlife.
