They tweet for the trees

Interested in the very latest on proposed state legislation that could impact Austin’s tree protections? Don’t worry, the city arborist has you covered. The city’s arborist is covering Senate Bill 14, which would gut the city’s ability to protect trees, live on Twitter @CityArboristATX. They are also tweeting out helpful resources, like this Google map that displays all of the Texas cities that currently have tree ordinances (it’s not just Austin).
