Million Trees + Houston

 

The Million Trees + Houston program started by Mayor Bill White is adding to our city’s Urban Forest by planting more than a million new trees in a three to five year period. The program is coordinated by the Houston Parks and Recreation Department in partnership with Trees for Houston.  Other partners include Harris County, the Texas Department of Transportation, and the Quality of Life Coalition. In the interest of creating a greener, more livable city, many private corporations are joining the effort through a special “Gift of Trees” program.
