Background and Discussion:

Trees for Houston has served as a vital component for many large and prominent projects in Houston, aided in significantly reducing overall project costs, and dramatically improved environmental equality through a highly efficient tree planting program.

 

 

Expected Impact:

Expand and enhance the Precinct 4 urban tree canopy to provide vital benefits from trees to the community.

 

Alternative Options:

1.                     Precinct 4 purchases trees using Harris County funds.
