Township awards bid to plant 6,000 trees The Woodlands Township board of directors on Jan. 24 approved a contract to plant 6,000 trees as part of a reforestation e ort approved during August budget meetings. The project During August budget workshops, the township board of directors approved doubling the yearly reforestation e ort to 6,000 trees planted over the course of 2024. Township Chief Operating Ocer Chris Nunes said the trees will be planted as needed along pathways and in communities based on resident requests. The reforestation will occur in two phases to provide the best conditions for the trees to survive, Nunes said. The purpose of spreading out the planting is due to the increased e ect of heat on young trees, he said.

What they’re saying “We continually try new things with [the] refor- estation program to learn from challenges that we’ve [had],” Nunes said. “In the last few years, we have modied how we do additional water into the trees. We have modied ... what the soil prepa- ration is that we’re doing; we’re actually adding bags of silica to the ground which actually absorbs water and releases water during drought periods. So it’s a constant evolution of the program.”
