In celebration of Earth Day 2022 (April 22), Trees For Houston is partnering with LyondellBasell and The Astros Foundation to give away 2,500 native trees to Houstonians to beautify their yards and help the environment. On Saturday, April 23, from 8 am to 10:30 am, Houston-area residents can drive through Lot B at Minute Maid Park (503 Chartres St.) and receive free, three-gallon trees. Species include American Beautyberry, American Sycamore, Buttonbush, Common Persimmon, Loblolly Pine, Pecan, Sweetgum, and White Oak. Each year, Houstonians look to honor this annual holiday by planting a tree in an effort to make the Earth and our community cleaner and greener. Trees For Houston staff and LyondellBasell volunteers will help citizens select the appropriate species based on the unique needs of the desired location. Planting and tree care resources are available at TreesForHouston.org.
