In a bid to foster environmental sustainability and community engagement, Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) is gearing up for the eighth annual Branch Out Dallas Tree Giveaway. Scheduled for November 7, 2026, this event is a highlight of the Dallas Arbor Day celebrations, offering residents the chance to enhance their surroundings with free trees.
The initiative underscores the importance of trees in urban settings, emphasizing their role in reducing stormwater runoff, cooling city temperatures, enhancing air quality, and mitigating the urban heat island effect. By participating, Dallas residents not only contribute to these ecological benefits but also beautify their neighborhoods.
This year’s distribution will be held at seven strategic locations across Dallas: Kidd Springs Park, Kiest Park, Park Forest Library, Prairie Creek Library, Renner Frankford Library, White Rock Hills Library, and Willis C. Winters Park. Tree pickup is scheduled between 9 a.m. and Noon, and participants are required to present a valid government-issued ID or a Dallas Water Utilities water bill matching their registration address.
Participants must collect their trees from their chosen site during the event’s hours, as delivery services are not an option. Additional information can be accessed at dallas.gov/branchoutdallas.
Since its inception in 2018, Branch Out Dallas has witnessed growing interest, becoming an integral part of the city’s annual Arbor Day festivities by 2019. This growth is attributed to the community’s increasing awareness and enthusiasm for tree planting and environmental care.
The success of Branch Out Dallas is a result of the collaborative efforts between various City of Dallas departments, volunteers, and civic organizations, all working together to ensure the smooth execution of this impactful event.
