Help preserve Austin’s tree canopy

As part of Austin’s HOME Initiative, the city is looking for ways to preserve its (nonprotected) trees and increase tree planting in the city. And they are looking to residents to help craft recommendations, incentives and planting requirements. Right now, the city is penciling out its recommendations and looking for feedback through a webinar that will take place 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. July 16. Registration can be found here. This public feedback will be used in crafting recommendations to City Council in the fall. Additional questions about providing feedback can be directed to dsdcommunications@austintexas.gov.
