Trees are part of what makes Rowlett feel like home, from shaded walking trails to neighborhood parks where people gather and spend time outdoors.🌳

Did you know Rowlett has been recognized as a Tree City USA community since 2000? To earn the Tree City USA designation, Rowlett established a tree ordinance, organized a tree board and celebrates Arbor Day each year.

It’s a commitment that grows through the work we do together.🌱
