Trees For Texas

Through the Trees For Texas program, the Texas Trees Foundation provides trees to neighborhood associations, churches, schools, non-profit organizations, and municipalities to improve and beautify our public open spaces. Trees are available for planting on publicly owned land including medians, parkways, parks, school campuses and hike & bike trails. Trees may also be planted on property owned by religious organizations and other non-profits. Trees are available in a variety of native and adapted species suitable to the soils and climate of North Texas. Any qualifying organization or individual can participate in the Trees for Texas program.

The Texas Trees Foundation Urban Tree Farm is located on the north west side of the Richland College campus (adjacent to the DART bus stop) at 12800 Abrams Road, Dallas, Texas 75243-2173. Click here for a map.
