Got a Notable Tree? Flower Mound's Tree Recognition Program Wants to Hear About It

If there's a tree on your property that's been quietly outlasting every subdivision wave this town has ever seen, it may be worth nominating. Flower Mound's Tree Recognition Program accepts nominations through its Environmental Services Department, and the process costs nothing.

The program is free. No application fee, no complicated paperwork — just a nomination form returned to the town's Environmental Services Department. The town is looking for notable trees across the community.

Size is measured by trunk diameter, total height, and average canopy spread. Got a post oak in the backyard that shades half the lot? That's worth a look. Same goes for anything that was standing here before the subdivisions arrived.

Owners of selected trees receive formal town recognition and a certificate — a record that this tree matters and why. Flower Mound's Environmental Services builds its understanding of the town's most notable canopy one nomination at a time, and that registry shapes which trees the department considers worth protecting.

The nomination form is at flowermound.gov/1929/Tree-Recognition-Program.
