The Ground Beneath Us
Our Community Tree Planting Days bring together volunteers of all ages to plant trees across Houston neighborhoods, parks, and public spaces. We provide all necessary materials and equipment. Since our founding, we have ceremonially planted our one millionth tree in February 2026. When we show up together, our community becomes more connected, more resilient, and more powerful.
