One of the Urban Forest Advisory Committee’s missions is to
encourage Dallas residents to plant trees—to re-shade our
city.
To enable citizens and various groups to plant trees, the
Committee is pleased to publish Dallas’ first tree planting
guide, The A,B,C’s to Planting Trees in
Dallas. This guide provides basic, yet expert-level
advice enabling citizens and community groups to
successfully plant trees in our city.
This guidance includes:
- Ideal tree planting conditions,
- Proper tree maintenance,
- Best watering methods,
- Practical tree placement guidance to reduce energy
costs
- Identifying funding sources.
The committee hopes this tree planting guide will
help to empower
citizens and neighborhood groups to beautify and shade their
neighborhoods.
Where can I obtain the booklet "The ABC’s to Planting Trees in
Dallas"?

Dallas Park & Recreation Centers listed below or from the
Park Dept. office at City Hall’s 6th Floor. |
