Dallas Urban Forestry

In 2005 Dallas Mayor, Laura Miller, established the Urban Forest Advisory Council.  The commission’s goals are to care for and augment Dallas’ urban forest to improve the aesthetics, reduce carbon dioxide levels and reduce the urban heat island effect.  Corporations and individuals contribute to the fund in support of the City of Dallas Urban Forest. The funds support projects such as tree planting, public information and education about trees, tree maintenance and an inventory of the Urban Forest.
