Up With Trees

Have you noticed some changes along Memorial Drive between 71st and 91st Streets? 🌳

As part of the Citywide Beautification Project, Up With Trees is partnering with the City of Tulsa to replace older Bradford Pear and Ash trees along the public right-of-way. Bradford Pears are known for becoming brittle and prone to breakage as they age, while Ash trees face an increasing threat from the invasive Emerald Ash Borer, an insect that has destroyed millions of ash trees across the country.

The best part? New trees are coming soon!

Beginning next month, Up With Trees will start planting new trees throughout these medians with species selected to thrive for generations while providing shade, beauty, cleaner air, and other valuable benefits to motorists and neighboring residents.

We're excited to get these new trees in the ground and share the transformation with you as this corridor continues to grow and improve.

Stay tuned for planting updates this fall! 🌱

Let's go back to 2018 when the sign shop was full with some of our excellent volunteers painting tree sight signs. Interested in getting involved? Contact our Community Outreach Coordinator, Greg, at [email protected] to schedule a time to get in the sign shop.

Big shoutout to the group of occupational therapy and physical therapy students from the OU College of Allied Health who helped us mulch the Arboretum at Tulsa Garden Center at Woodward Park last week. Thank you! Let's grow Tulsa together! 🌱
