Trees for Kingwood Plants 35 Trees Along Woodland Hills Drive

A new community group called Trees for Kingwood completed their first tree planting in November 2022.  The group works across community and trails associations, local government and local businesses to facilitate reforesting the Kingwood area.  The trees are planted with best practices (such as adding soil amendments and root stimulator) and a two year watering plan to get them established. 

Contributions from area community and trails association with trees from the City of Houston allowed for the professional installation of some 35 medium sized trees in our service area.  Many of the trees were planted in the bare medians of Woodland Hills Drive starting at Ben’s Branch continuing towards Kingwood Drive.
