Celebrating 20 years of creating greener,
healthier communities
IRVING,
Texas, Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TXU Energy
and Texas Trees Foundation (TTF) are launching a statewide
tree-planting campaign, celebrating 20 years of working together to
create greener, healthier communities through the TXU Energy Urban
Tree Farm and Education Center. This month, volunteers will plant
400 trees, donated by TXU Energy, in ten communities across
Texas.
"For 20 years, TXU Energy has worked hand in hand with Texas
Trees Foundation to plant and nurture thousands of trees across the
state," said Brad Watson, TXU
Energy's senior director of community affairs. "We are proud to
support the tree farm, a special place that serves as a living
classroom and the starting line for projects that increase the
urban tree canopy, clean our air, and leave a lasting impact on the
communities we serve."
TXU Energy has sponsored Texas Trees Foundation's TXU Energy
Urban Tree Farm and Education Center since 2004. The farm, which is
one of the largest urban tree farms in the country, is located on
the Dallas College – Richland Campus. It serves as TTF's tree
nursery, a volunteer and education destination, and the staging
area for planting projects across north Texas.
"We are grateful to TXU Energy for their longstanding
partnership and commitment to quality of life in Texas," said Janette
Monear, president and CEO of Texas Trees Foundation. "The
400 new trees planted through this initiative will enrich our
communities and their residents for generations to come."
