Urban Forestry
Urban Forestry is the root of our impact across Texas.
Since 1982, most of Texas Trees Foundation's efforts have been focused in Dallas. By 2025 and 2026, we plan to grow TTF’s urban forestry activities across mid-sized cities in Texas, outside major metropolitan areas.
BENEFITS OF TREES

Trees play a vital role in our communities. The sum of all the individual trees and associated vegetation comprise our urban forest.
Urban forestry is the management of trees and urban forests in our communities to increase the many environmental, physical, mental, social, and economic benefits that trees provide for a better way of life.
Our Urban Forestry and Cool Schools teams act in collaboration to bring funders, partners, local leaders, and volunteers together to increase urban forestry education, awareness, and sustainability for a greener, cleaner, cooler, and healthier Texas.
