For more than 40 years, Texas Trees Foundation has spearheaded community discussion onforestry across Texas and beyond. We plant trees and create programs and educational resources about trees, urban forestry, urban heat islands, and many other related topics.
In 2023, TTF staff members were active across the Metroplex and the state in a range of activities including tree planting projects, meeting with city and federal representatives, urban forestry education, distributing saplings, participating in local and international speaking engagements, and conducting community surveys.
