Evelyn's Park

Trees For Houston is working with Evelyn’s Park Conservancy to supply trees to the 5-acre historic former Teas Nursery site that is currently being transformed into a park. We have committed to providing over 300 trees for the project, which will not only help shade and beautify the area, but will also aid in the reduction of energy consumption and enhance the daily lives of those visiting and living near the park. We've also been working with EPC for the last two years growing trees to maximize dollars, while maintaining quality to ensure the trees thrive when planted. 

For more information about Evelyn’s Park, including Master Plan renderings, construction updates and information on how you can donate to the project, visit www.evelynspark.org.
 

Trees For Schools

The mission of the Trees For Schools program is to expand awareness of the critical role that trees play in our community for residents of all ages and grade levels. They strive to create a multigenerational community of life-long stewards of our urban forest. During the 2018-2019 planting season, we planted 1,544 trees at 54 schools including 24 volunteer plantings. Each year we also partner with the SPARK Park Program, to provide trees for their newly constructed SPARK Parks. Our classroom program, generously sponsored by CenterPoint Energy, educates the youngest members of our community on the importance of protecting trees and our environment for the future.

Houston Arboretum & Nature Center

Houston recently experienced two major natural disasters, Hurricane Ike in 2008 and then a severe drought in the summer of 2011. Coupled together, these two natural disasters had a significant impact on the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center and resulted in a 50% loss of their tree canopy, loss of many native plants, and subsequent encroachment of invasive species. The Arboretum has decided to use this experience as an opportunity to develop a master plan that would enable them to more effectively fulfill our two primary purposes – conservation and nature education – for decades to come.  Trees For Houston has committed to providing a minimum of 2,500 trees to fulfill this master plan.

Bayou Greenways

Bayou Greenways is the overarching initiative that will develop connected green corridors with hike and bike trails along the bayous of the greater Houston area. When complete, the project will have added 4,000 acres of new, equitably distributed green spaces that will also aid in flood control and storm water quality enhancement, and 300 miles of continuous, all-weather hike and bike trails that will meander through our bayou greenways. This ambitious project will significantly expand and enhance Houston’s parks system, creating a continuous system within the city limits of 150 miles of parks and trails along Houston’s bayous. Trees For Houston has committed to providing trees for the green corridors, hike and bike trails and bayou greenways. We recently planted trees along Brays Bayou for the Atwell Bridge project.

Broadway Street Airport Corridor

The Broadway/Hobby Corridor Redevelopment Project is the transformation of the 2-mile Broadway Street airport corridor connecting William P. Hobby Airport to I-45. This revitalization effort will act as a catalyst for future development along Broadway and will constitute the final element of a complementary series of projects in the area. Scenic Houston is spearheading the project and is working with the newly formed Hobby Area Management District, the City of Houston, TxDOT, and other key organizations to transform corridor. A fresh, attractive Broadway will provide a much needed “Welcome to Houston.”

Sustainability Project with The Sun Club

In time for the upcoming planting season, Trees for Houston will be rolling through Houston cleaner and greener than ever with a new biodiesel truck. Trees for Houston will also install a water catchment system at its tree farm which will offset the need to use city water outside of periods of extreme drought in Houston. And lastly, during this planting season, Trees For Houston will plant fruit trees at ten schools (on top of the 25 they currently plant every year) providing shade, clean air and educational opportunities to the students of Houston.

These sustainability upgrades were made possible due to a $141,500 grant from the Green Mountain Energy Sun Club.
