About Branch Out Dallas

The Branch Out Dallas tree giveaway program was launched in the fall of 2018 and, because of the growing demand and participation, it is now part of the Dallas Arbor Day annual celebration.  Click here to see the Mayor's 2024 Dallas Arbor Day proclamation.

Branch Out Dallas is held annually. Residents select a five-gallon tree from varieties that ​are hardy and suited for the North Texas region.  The program is led by DWU staff in partnership with the city's Forestry team, and is supported by volunteers and civic groups who help distribute the trees to residents of Dallas.

The Branch Out Dallas program was started as an effort to reduce the heat island effect and to increase the overall tree canopy in the city.  Each tree planted helps Dallas get closer to meeting these goals. Trees benefit the urban environment by reducing stormwater runoff to drainage systems, cooling temperatures, improving air quality and mitigating the heat island effect. ​Homeowners who plant a tree in their yard benefit by saving energy, cooling the air and adding shade.  Program inquiries can be sent to BranchOutDallas@dallas.gov.
