Fact Sheet
Funds raised at this event support Trees For Houston's mission to plant, protect and promote trees. Since 1983, we have planted over 430,000 trees. In the wake of the worst drought in state history and the subsequent devastating environmental and aesthetic impact, Trees For Houston is focusing on conservation and drought remediation projects.

Please email randi@treesforhouston.org with any questions. 

In one year, an acre of trees can absorb as much carbon as is produced by a car driven up to 8700 miles!

Trees For Houston planted 5,519 trees at 18 volunteer plantings along parkways and bayous and in parks and tribute groves last year
