In collaboration with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension, Trees For Houston welcomes speaker Stephanie Gray for the Tree Hurricane Preparedness class!
This program is designed to provide strategies for mitigating tree damage in advance of severe weather events. Led by Stephanie Gray, Horticulture Agent with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension in Harris County, the session emphasizes proactive tree care practices that enhance resilience in urban and residential landscapes. Key topics include the selection of wind-resistant tree species, structural pruning techniques, site-specific planting considerations, and the influence of soil conditions, drought, and climate variability on tree stability. The program targets homeowners, landscape professionals, and municipal planners, offering practical guidance and local resources to support sustainable urban forestry. By fostering preventative maintenance and informed species selection, the workshop aims to reduce storm-related tree failures and promote long-term canopy health across Houston communities.
The class will take place at Trees For Houston; however, there will be a virtual option. For the highest quality option, please attend in person; technical difficulties may occur virtually.
