Greener Better Dallas

Planting trees
is the foundation of an urban forestry program. Trees are living organisms and must be replaced to sustain the urban forest as a whole. City life is hard on trees, therefore planting must be done to assist nature and counter the many impacts present. A properly-planted, appropriately-sized, well-adapted tree can cost hundreds of dollars to plant and keep alive for the sensitive establishment period.

The Urban Forest Advisory Committee is committed to properly planting trees, helping groups to plant, and distributing information about planting. Information to help you is available in the "ABC's to Planting Trees in Dallas".

If you have a neighborhood association, church, school, non-profit organization or municipality in need of great quality, cared-for 10-gallon trees for planting, contact the Texas Tree Foundation. You may qualify for the Trees for Texas program

The simple act of planting a tree can result in providing a multitude of benefits over dozens or even hundreds of years to come
