Caring for Your Tree

There is a lot more to caring for a tree than providing water. You need to know when to water and how much so you don't damage your tree. There are proper methods of pruning (NOT trimming) your tree that will enhance its growth. Improper pruning may kill your tree! Then there are environmental factors, fertilization, the roots, amount of sunlight, and the list goes on.

We will provide a listing or network of experts that will keep you in the know. You will be able to find all the answers to these questions and more. Of course, you can also join with the Citizen Foresters group and become an expert yourself.

The City of Dallas and small groups of volunteers watch over and care for the trees of Dallas. Here is an example of that care in action. There are more trees that need attention than there are volunteers or city workers. That is where you come in. Our trees need more volunteers and Citizen Foresters to locate the trees, inform the appropriate city channels and bring the trees the care they need. Typically our trees face damage or disease from natural causes. Frequently damage can come from construction injuries but also from inexcusable criminal actions.
