Large-scale native tree planting under the PoH TREES Program and the Resilient Houston Plan’s 4.6 million trees by 2030 Goal
Deborah January-Bevers, President of Houston Wilderness, will discuss the large-scale native tree planting efforts taking place under the Port of Houston (PoH) T.R.E.E.S. Program and Resilient Houston Plan’s 4.6 Million trees by 2030 goal. The PoH T.R.E.E.S. program is a multi-year collaborative program facilitated by Houston Wilderness in collaboration with Port Houston, Houston Health Department, and Buffalo Bayou Partnership, and focused on enhanced ecosystem services through targeted large-scale tree plantings along the 25 miles of the ship channel. She will go in-depth on HW’s research on the ecosystem services of our region’s plethora of native tree species, and specific use of 14 native “Super Tree” species†in these large-scale tree planting efforts. January-Bevers will also discuss the Tree Strategy Implementation Group (TSIG), comprised of all the major large-scale native tree stakeholders in the region, and their role in assisting the City of Houston with a strategy to accomplish the 4.6 million new native trees by 2030 goal under the Resilient Houston Plan.
