We are proud to announce that the Texas Trees Foundation now is a local branch for TreeBank™, a Web-based donation system dedicated to tree-planting and urban forestry. The program uses technology to build a local community fund to plant and support healthy trees in North Central Texas.

 

Most people and organizations want to help improve the environment, but they don't know where to begin. Local TreeBanks are the most convenient way for individual donors and sponsors to support planting projects (including education and aftercare) in their communities of choice. In this way, TreeBank harnesses the green intentions of thousands of individual donors and accelerates the missions of local tree organizations.  

 

 

The program offers a pro-active way for anyone, anywhere to support local nonprofit "branches." Dollar for dollar, there is no better investment in the local environment. 

 

Desert WillowPlanting trees help reduce air pollution, cleans our water, conserves energy, increases property values, and adds many more benefits to the quality of life that we live.  Trees are part of a community's infrastructure and make our neighborhoods and cities more liveable.
 
TREEmendous Thanks for all of your support and we hope to see you on March 1st!
