The Texas Tree Advocacy Workbook is a valuable tool for groups of like-minded individuals who want to preserve and protect our Earth’s natural assets for future generations to enjoy. Since 1995, the coalition has worked with grassroots organizations, city and county leaders/officials, public and private entities, and other institutions to preserve trees and urban forests in the state of Texas. Some of the basic principles for advocacy were originally provided by Ned and Genie Fritz, and Janice Bezanson.

If you have an interest in protecting and preserving trees or forests, the workbook provides guidance based on many years of effective tree advocacy. Our hope is that the workbook will help others to protect trees and forests in Texas and beyond. We hope you find the information, tools, and resources in the workbook to be helpful.

Neighborhood Alert for Tree Removal and/or Protecting Tree During Construction

Alert your neighbors if you become aware of contractors planning to remove mature trees or failing to follow best practices for protecting trees during construction. The Dallas Neighborhood Alert form below can be adapted for use in any community. Building a network of neighbors who share a commitment to tree preservation can strengthen your efforts and help ensure that concerns are heard and addressed.
