Local stewardship takes people—and support behind the scenes. TMD’s cleanup archive shows volunteers giving their time to collect shoreline litter. Alongside this hands-on work, we share native-tree education and document North Texas landscapes.
Our current funding priorities are general operations and a planned native nursery at a separate site from our collection locations. General operating support helps sustain the organization behind TMD’s cleanups and programs.
Help support TMD’s work in North Texas through our official donation page.
We are developing consistent field observations and records to support public learning about North Texas trees and habitats. Research questions, methods and permissions should be clear before field activities begin.
Our shoreline cleanups bring volunteers together to care for shared outdoor spaces. Native-tree education and community stewardship connect this hands-on work with the wider landscapes of North Texas.
Interested in tree observation or ecological documentation? Contact us about current opportunities. Field activities depend on confirmed site permissions, supervision and preparation.
Tell us how your organization would like to contribute to native-tree education, community stewardship or our developing documentation work. We will discuss a practical scope together.
