Did you know?
  • Every 1,000 urban trees we plant will save our region more than a million dollars in storm water management, pollution abatement, and energy costs.

  • Starbucks will give you their extra, used coffee grounds to add to your garden?

  • City trees are fifteen times more capable of reducing carbon in the atmosphere than rural trees.
  • Our youth volunteers helped CitySquare by building a compost pile complete with watermelon rinds and corn cobs
  • Our youth volunteers serving Texas Trees completed a month's worth of work that the usual staff would have had to do by themselves!
