🌳 Planted with Purpose | Tree Planting Event

Planted With Purpose is McKinney’s citywide tree-planting initiative, led by McKinney’s Urban Forestry and Parks & Recreation, partnered with the McKinney Parks Foundation, North Texas Municipal Water District & One Earth One Chance to grow a healthier, more resilient community one tree at a time!
Through a series of tree plantings across McKinney, we’ll be putting 1,100 trees in the ground at two flood-prone, City-owned sites. These trees will help protect water quality, reduce flooding, improve air quality, and create healthier spaces for people and wildlife.
This is the first planting where we’ll be planting 444 trees along East Fork Trinity River. Details to participate are below. Registration is required.
Date: Saturday, November 7, 2026
Time: 8 a.m. – Noon
Volunteers will park at McKinney City Hall and be shuttled from there to the planting site.
Parking: McKinney City Hall, 401 E. Virginia St. McKinney, TX 75069
