City of Dallas Planning & Development

Last Saturday, City of Dallas Arborist supported Branch Out Dallas. Chief Arborist, Philip, led the White Rock Hills Library site where 503 trees were distributed. Our Arborists, Jessie and Stephanie, worked together at St. Elizabeth where the team distributed 339 trees.

Branch Out Dallas plays a key role in expanding the city’s urban forest. Trees provide essential ecosystem services—improving air quality, reducing heat, managing stormwater, and supporting biodiversity. Big thanks to all who were a part of this incredible day!

Dallas residents: If you registered for the Branch Out Dallas tree giveaway program, pick up your tree this Saturday, Nov. 8 between 9 a.m. and noon. City of Dallas arborists will be on hand at various locations. Remember to bring a copy of your City of Dallas water bill and a government-issued ID.
