Plant Trees!!

Results Now and for Centuries to Come

When they see a newly planted seedling, most people see a little tree. Those with vision see a home for wildlife, shade for their grandchildren or clean air for future generations. It is rewarding after doing your part in planting thousands of trees but the greatest rewards are yet to come.

When the committee affects the outcome of plans, programs or city codes by report, study or recommendation to the betterment of the citizens of Dallas for care, conservation, planting, pruning, removal or disposition of trees citywide, we hope you will consider the processes we have organized to this end a success. Our work has just begun, however, and we have exciting plans for Dallas - now and for the future of this great city.
