There is a beautiful, wide hike/bike trail that runs along either side of Greens Bayou. It is currently unshaded and hot during most of the year, suffering the ‘heat island’ effect. Greens Bayou Coalition, working with North Houston District, plans to add trees along the trail, all the way to Hardy Road, a total of 281 trees!
Phase One begins at Knobcrest Drive at I-45. Native trees will be planted on both sides of the bayou to Greens Road. The trees will add shade, help stop erosion, clean the air, bring birds, wildlife, and new flora to the area, add beauty, and cool the trail for walkers and bikers. Join us in making our community a more beautiful place!
Trees will be provided by Trees for Houston.
This phase of the project was made possible by an environmental grant from H-E-B’s Our Texas Our Future and a Community Grant from H-E-B’s Trees For Texans program.
