Tree Donation Program

Trees for Houston's Tree Donation Program gives away free trees to homeowners, schools, and nonprofits across the city. You can get both 5-gallon and 1-gallon trees at no cost for your yard, organize neighborhood planting events, or help schools create outdoor learning spaces. The program also offers tree care workshops and community outreach opportunities.

About Trees for Houston

Plants and protects thousands of trees annually across Houston neighborhoods, parks, and esplanades to build a greener, cooler city.

The program serves all Houston neighborhoods, with special attention to areas that need more tree cover. It operates through Central Northwest in the 77018 area.

Trees cool Houston neighborhoods by up to 10 degrees, clean the air, and reduce flooding during heavy rains. In our hot climate, shade trees can significantly cut energy bills while increasing property values and creating gathering spaces for families. With Houston losing thousands of trees each year to storms, development, and disease, this program helps rebuild our tree canopy.

Visit Trees for Houston's website to request free trees for your property or organize a neighborhood planting event. You can also volunteer for planting events, help with tree care workshops, or assist with community outreach. The program works whether you want one tree for your yard or dozens for a community project.
