Our Mission
Ben & Annie’s Trees for Tomorrow is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting tree planting and environmental education initiatives that contribute to healthy communities and long-term stewardship of natural resources. The organization collaborates with builders, developers, landowners, and community groups to integrate tree planting into land development and community planning efforts. Through education and practical implementation, Ben & Annie’s Trees for Tomorrow promotes responsible approaches to land use that recognize the long-term value of trees within the built environment.
We focus on native species, physical land restoration, and multi-decade monitoring. Ben & Annie's Trees for Tomorrow does NOT sell carbon credits, offsets, or engage in political advocacy.
A Message from our Founder:
As the demand for new homes in the Central Texas areas has grown, it has become more and more difficult to build without displacing trees in the process.
That is why I started Ben & Annie's Trees for Tomorrow, which is named for two of my children, to try and reverse this incidental destruction by encouraging other builders and developers to make a voluntary commitment to replant trees as they go. Through this collaboration we hope to not only replace trees directly affected by new home construction and neighborhood developments, but to learn how to better contribute to local conservation efforts.
We invite builders, developers, contractors, landscapers and government officials to join us and make Central Texas a cleaner, safer place to live.

Support Our Vision Today
Our goal is to not only replant the trees disrupted during the homebuilding process, but to create beautiful new parks and greenspaces. We also hope to educate the public about the long-term effects of growth and production and why they are so important to the future we want to build.
