Branch Out Dallas Tree Giveaway Returns Nov. 7

Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) is hosting the eighth annual Branch Out Dallas Tree Giveaway on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The event coincides with Dallas Arbor Day and provides free five-gallon trees to residents who have successfully registered for the program.

Tree pickup will occur from 9 a.m. to noon at seven designated distribution locations throughout the city. Registered participants must collect their trees at the specific location selected during registration. Delivery services are not available for this event.

The seven pickup sites include Kidd Springs Park, Kiest Park, Park Forest Library, Prairie Creek Library, Renner Frankford Library, White Rock Hills Library, and Willis C. Winters Park. To receive a tree, residents must present either a valid government-issued ID or a Dallas Water Utilities water bill showing the address associated with their registration.

Trees serve several environmental functions in the urban landscape. They help reduce stormwater runoff into drainage systems, cool temperatures, improve air quality, and mitigate the urban heat island effect. Through Branch Out Dallas, residents can contribute to these benefits while enhancing their neighborhoods and properties.

The program launched in the fall of 2018 and became part of the annual Dallas Arbor Day celebration in 2019 due to increasing community participation. The event is coordinated through the collaboration of various City of Dallas departments, volunteers, and civic organizations.
