“The Urban Forest Advisory Committee (UFAC) will serve in an advisory capacity on matters of environmental stewardship, specifically concerning the care and planting of trees and the urban forest by advocating sound arboricultural and urban forest management practices.
The Committee will provide proactive leadership for development of public policy and serve to educate citizens of Dallas regarding the numerous environmental, recreational, social and aesthetic benefits of a thriving urban forest.
The committee will be authorized to study, plan, advise, report and make recommendations on plans, programs or city codes which the Council or Park and Recreation Board determines necessary or advisable for the care, conservation, planting, pruning, removal or disposition of trees citywide.”

A Note to the Citizens of Dallas:
During our recent meeting, Mr.
Michael Hellmann announced that the search for a City Forester
replacement will continue and applications are currently under
review. Also, the Texas Forest Service is working to find a
replacement for our Regional Forester position for the Trinity
Blacklands Region. This document offers more
information along with population information that portrays
Dallas as being the fastest growing metro area in the country.
