Branch out and learn about the city’s tree ordinance

Get your Lorax on at a Tree Smart Brown Bag Lunch & Learn on July 19, where experts from the city’s Community Tree Preservation Division will teach attendees about Austin’s tree ordinance and ways to protect the urban forest. The event is free to attend and will take place from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Permitting and Development Center (6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive), Room 1406. There will be snacks (but you can bring a lunch, too). “The presentation will focus mainly on information that affects permit holders and professionals who work in development and landscaping,” according to a news release. Space is limited; you can register here.
