TXU Energy Partners with Texas Trees Foundation to Plant 400 Trees Across Texas
Celebrating 20 years of creating greener, healthier communities
Irving, TX
TXU Energy and Texas Trees Foundation (TTF) are launching a statewide tree-planting campaign, celebrating 20 years of working together to create greener, healthier communities through the TXU Energy Urban Tree Farm and Education Center. This month, volunteers will plant 400 trees, donated by TXU Energy, in ten communities across Texas.
“For 20 years, TXU Energy has worked hand in hand with Texas Trees Foundation to plant and nurture thousands of trees across the state,” said Brad Watson, TXU Energy’s senior director of community affairs. “We are proud to support the tree farm, a special place that serves as a living classroom and the starting line for projects that increase the urban tree canopy, clean our air, and leave a lasting impact on the communities we serve.”
TXU Energy has sponsored Texas Trees Foundation’s TXU Energy Urban Tree Farm and Education Center since 2004. The farm, which is one of the largest urban tree farms in the country, is located on the Dallas College – Richland Campus. It serves as TTF’s tree nursery, a volunteer and education destination, and the staging area for planting projects across north Texas.
“We are grateful to TXU Energy for their longstanding partnership and commitment to quality of life in Texas,” said Janette Monear, president and CEO of Texas Trees Foundation. “The 400 new trees planted through this initiative will enrich our communities and their residents for generations to come.”
20th anniversary tree-planting events will happen in the following locations:
- Fort Worth ISD students and volunteers will plant 50 trees at Riverside Applied Learning Center.
- Volunteers will plant 150 trees at the City of Irving’s in-ground tree nursery.
- Volunteers will plant 50 trees at the City of Dallas’ Bushman Park.
- Harris County volunteers will plant 30 trees at Adair Park in partnership with Trees for Houston.
Additional trees will be delivered and planted in Galveston County, City of Pharr, City of Harlingen, Channelview ISD, City of Tyler, and Texas Tech University.
