Pick up your gloves and shovels and join volunteers from across the city as we plant thousands of trees in city parks. Long a local tradition, this year's Arbor Day celebration is another step to Re-Plant Houston following the drought of 2011, which caused many tree deaths. Planting will take place in Hermann Park, Memorial Park, MacGregor Park, Montie Beach Park, De Zavala Park and Tuffly Park.

Volunteer pre-registration is required. To volunteer at Hermann Park, please contact dkerr@hermannpark.org. To volunteer at MacGregor Park, please contact Jessica@treesforhouston.org. To volunteer at Memorial Park, Montie Beach Park, De Zavala Park, or Tuffly Park, please contact H.P.A.R.D.'s Volunteer Coordinator at oneika.shelby@houstontx.gov or 832-395-7280.
