Thanks Carlynn for giving trees your attention. There were several issues covered with District 1 Councilwoman Houston and I’d like to share a great resource with your readers.
In 2014 former City of Austin staffer, Alan Halter, built a wonderful storymap showcasing tree related information based on council districts. Based on historic data, Alan was able to find that as of 2014, over 3200 trees have been delivered in District 1 from the NeighborWoods program.
The City of Austin, and our partners actively use as much data as we can to inform decision, plan programs, and offer resources to the areas of town that need them the most. We love to hear new ideas for how to better serve our community. Feel free to share your ideas! Emily.King@AustinTexas.Gov
