​Tree replacement plantings are required by city code for new development. These are some of the other programs we work on:

Dallas Reforestation Program -Planning & Development Services

Trees requested through this program must be planted on public property which includes City of Dallas parks, recreation centers, approved medians and parkways. Trees are purchased and delivered through the Article X Reforestation Fund.

Note: with threat of tree loss due to Natural Deforestation Events, such as storms or Emerald Ash borer, private property affected by these events may qualify for a free tree if:

• Located within a declared federal, state, or local disaster area
  
• Declared eligible for reforestation by to city council: or
•  Confirmed by the director to have contained vulnerable or threatened tree species on the property, as specified by the Texas Department of Agriculture, and was in imminent threat of infestation.

MOWmentum - The MOWmentum Program is a joint effort between our city government and citizens. The purpose of the program is to keep rights-of-way and neighborhoods clean and beautiful. The sponsor can include homeowners’ associations, businesses and individuals. The MOWmentum Program may be used for elaborate projects such as fully landscaped rights-of-way. Please note that landscaping improvements on parkways, bike paths and hike trails are not eligible

Branching Out Dallas - Park and Recreation  

See photos of this year's plantings below!

Park and Recreation chooses a minimum of twelve parks per year to plant new trees. Trees are purchased and delivered through the Article X Reforestation Fund.

Branch Out Dallas - Dallas Water Utilities

This program offers a free tree , while supplies last, to Dallas residents to plant in their yard.  Giving away trees is an effort to filter and decrease stormwater runoff, improve air quality and lower temperatures. (Download the tri-fold brochure in English or Spanish)

In addition, Dallas Water Utilities plants trees in the Great Trinity Forest and floodway management areas, while Public Works adds trees to empty medians every year.
