Mission: To have neighborhoods in need of trees submit their neighborhood to receive free trees for neighborhood planting. If the site meets planting requirements, Trees For Houston will donate trees to the neighborhood.

STREET TREE Program Requirements

  • Trees For Houston requires a neighborhood to have a need of at least 30 trees to be considered for this program (If less than 30, we will require coordination for tree pick up)

  • To be considered for our neighborhood program, homeowners will be responsible for installation, watering trees for a minimum of 2 years and maintenance

  • Application for tree donation must be submitted between May-July to be considered for the upcoming year

  • Submissions received after July will be put on a wait-list for the next year. Please note that this is due to the heavy volume of requests our organization receives on a daily basis

  • If your neighborhood is on our wait-list and project is time sensitive, we are able to source your tree for you at a wholesale cost. Please contact staff for pricing

  • Species selection will ultimately be determined by Trees For Houston’s availability. Once application has been accepted we will discuss availability

  • All submissions will be provided with a status update for your neighborhood

  • If your neighborhood requires a tree size over 1.5” we recommend reaching out to a retail nursery who can better meet your specific needs

  • Trees For Houston is a non-profit seeking to donate trees to areas in need who may not be able to afford and do not want financial setbacks to hinder their efforts to “greening” their neighborhood.

  • Please submit details on your neighborhood including, history, number of residents and specific needs of your neighborhood

  • Hand tagging trees/personally selecting trees will not be allowed due to our farm location and security restrictions

Trees For Houston wants to serve as a resource to the tree needs of our community. Neighborhood facilitation and planning will allow our organization to efficiently and effectively provide trees on a larger scale with your support.
