Kinder Foundation seeds $3 million for new Trees for Houston campus

https://communityimpact.com/houston/heights-river-oaks-montrose/nonprofit/2021/04/22/kinder-foundation-seeds-3-million-for-new-trees-for-houston-campus/

Quote

Trees For Houston, the Houston nonprofit that plants, protects and promotes trees throughout the Greater Houston area, will be able to build a new permanent campus in Houston’s Garden Oaks area just outside the Loop thanks to a $3 million gift from the Kinder Foundation.

The Kinder Campus at 2001 W. 34th St., Houston, will break ground this winter. When complete, the 1.5 acre site will feature an on-site tree nursery, office space and an education center, expanding the nonprofit’s capacity to distribute more trees to constituents and to provide educational programming for children and adults, the nonprofit announced April 22.

“Trees For Houston is indebted to our major donors in generously supporting our effort to positively impact Houston’s green infrastructure,” said Barry Ward, Executive Director of Trees For Houston, in the announcement. “The tree nursery on the Kinder Campus will be a game-changer in increasing our growing capacity to meet the needs of those we serve, including local municipalities, parks, schools, nonprofits, community partners and individuals.”

The Trees for Houston Kinder Campus is open in Garden Oaks. It's located at 1911 W 34th St.

More about the new campus from an article published yesterday in Houston Chronicle:


... the new $9 million campus will house the group’s headquarters, which it will share with Urban Harvest, and includes an outdoor pavilion, a small bosque with rows of river birch trees for an outdoor entertaining space, plus space at the back of the property for the tree nursery. Another slice of land at the site will be used as Urban Harvest’s demonstration garden, filled seasonally with all sorts of vegetables."

In yesterday's Houston Chronicle article on the opening of The Trees for Houston Kinder Campus, there are additional details about the materials used for the buildout.

The Trees for Houston Kinder Campus recently opened in Garden Oaks. It's located at 1911 W 34th St.

 

The wood portions use sho sugi ban wood, a blackened form of ponderosa pine that has gone through a heat and steam process to make the wood more durable and more resistant to rot and insect damage.

It’s a modern building, so there’s plenty of glass and steel, with steel I-beams placed in a “Y” shape around the exterior, the form a metaphor for the shape of a tree. Big glass windows are protected by deep awnings to keep the sun out, but they’ve had to add a film with dots that helps prevent birds from flying into the windows and becoming injured or dying.
