Mission: To have general public submit potential street tree locations to Trees For Houston for future right-of-way plantings. If the site meets planting requirements then Trees For Houston will scout, create planting plan and pair with sponsorship partner.
The street tree program is for individuals or community members who do not have funds or ability to facilitate their own volunteer project.
