Neighborwoods Tree Planting Program

Each fall, KDB selects neighborhoods, schools, or places of worship that are in need of publicly-viewed trees to participate in the Neighborwoods Tree Planting Program. The Neighborwoods Tree Planting Program aims to have a concentrated impact on the urban forest in Denton’s neighborhoods.

Participating groups are given training, free mulch, and free trees to plant in their yards or on their property in fall or early winter. Groups interested in participating are served on a first come, first served basis. KDB has a limited number of trees available in this program each year.

An urban forest is a forest or a collection of trees that grow within a city, town or a suburb. As residents drive down city streets, or play in city parks, or walk along a creek bank, they appreciate a tree canopy and the cover it provides. The Neighborwoods Tree Planting Program helps to fill in the gaps of Denton’s urban forest.
