Beautifying <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Bayou</strong><br />
For a second year, Apache Corporation has assisted<br />
with <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Bayou</strong> beautification efforts by providing<br />
thousands of native trees. In February, Apache donated<br />
1,500 trees for the annual Planting on the Parkway, an<br />
event hosted by <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Bayou</strong> <strong>Partnership</strong>’s <strong>Bayou</strong><br />
Buddies and Trees for Houston’s Redbuds. Another 1,500<br />
trees are being planted this fall and winter at such sites<br />
as <strong>Buffalo</strong> Bend Nature Park and Tony Marron Park in<br />
Houston’s East End. The trees planted along <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Bayou</strong><br />
are part of Apache’s effort to provide one million trees to<br />
non-profit groups nationwide.<br />
Newton’s Nursery is helping kick off Great Small Trees,<br />
a cooperative project of <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Bayou</strong> <strong>Partnership</strong> and<br />
The Garden Club of Houston. The 30 year-old wholesale<br />
plant company is providing more than 100 trees as the<br />
initial planting of a five-year initiative that will create<br />
demonstration areas along the bayou’s west sector.<br />
All selected trees are native, likely to thrive with little<br />
maintenance, and provide seasonal interest and habitat<br />
benefits. Newton’s is no stranger to <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Bayou</strong><br />
<strong>Partnership</strong> beautification efforts. The company has<br />
donated trees and plants for various BBP projects,<br />
including the annual <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Bayou</strong> Ball.<br />
