Come Dig In With Us!
Planting Day!
Studies have shown that urban areas are some of the hottest, least canopied areas in the world. Our plantings address this issue by increasing tree canopy coverage across Texas and beyond! As a volunteer, you will work in small groups to plant trees throughout various sites (i.e. parks, school campuses, and public rights-of-way), while exploring nature in an urban setting. TTF staff will provide guidance and demonstrations to all volunteers.
Anyone can be involved in the planting process! The trees planting across Texas will provide future shade and cooler temperatures, improved air quality, and enhanced biodiversity to the community. We need your help!
