Woodland Heights is known for its beautiful Oak trees. To keep it that way we need to get more trees planted than are being removed.
Curbside trees must be planted in the right of way between the sidewalk and the road.
$100 purchase Includes:
One 15 gallon tree
Materials for planting (soil, mulch, stakes, tree guard)
Naturally replenishing moisture donut/ring
WHEN WILL I GET MY TREE?
Trees will be purchased from Trees for Houston when a total of 20 or more trees have been purchased by neighbors. WHCA will coordinate with Trees for Houston to provide delivery to Woodland Heights and the homeowner pickup and plant their own trees. If you are interested in a tree but not able to plant your own, please reach out to us as volunteers may be available to assist you.
2021 CURBSIDE TREE PROJECT
“26 new trees ranging from live oaks, red buds, red maples, shumard oaks, loblolly pine to pecans were purchased from Trees for Houston.
Some were placed on homeowners’ property while some were donated. Donated trees were planted curbside on blocks which lacked shade plus some were donated to St. Mark’s Methodist Church for planting along Redan.
Big shout out of gratitude and thanks to: Emily Guyre who recruited four St. Thomas High School students: Jackson Guyre, Philip Gallagher, Landon Croker, and Pablo Ramirez. Ben McClure and Eric Nelson rounded out the team. This crew was incredibly hard working and fun despite the rain.
Thank you to those that donated trees on behalf of neighbors and to Nuro, whose donations sponsored trees along Redan at St. Mark’s.Last but certainly not least, we want to shout out a huge thank you to Ms. Saldana, principal of Hogg MS, for graciously allowing us to use their parking lot for drop off and staging of the trees, mulch and stakes! We appreciate it!”
