NBA team adopts Trees for Threes

This season, the Dallas Mavericks are implementing Trees for Threes, where a tree will be planted for every three pointer made at home.

 

The trees, up to 10 feet tall, will be planted by Mavs personnel, PwC employees, citizen foresters and volunteers from various parks organizations.

 

The Mavericks have aligned with Arborilogical Services Inc., a tree care company, and the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department to care for and maintain the trees for three years. The program is a part of the Mavericks eco-friendly initiative, Guard the Planet.

 

Hundreds of trees will be planted in the Dallas area, including at TP Hill at White Rock Lake and Lake Cliff Park in Oak Cliff.

 

This marks the second season of the Mavericks commitment to plant trees in the Dallas area. Last year, 55 trees were planted in Reverchon Park as part of Trees for Wins.
