The Strength of Cooperation: How Municipalities and Arborists Can Work Together

Municipalities and Arborists

In this episode of Building Roots, Wesley Rivers sits down with Ron Schmidt, councilman for the City of Argyle, to discuss municipalities and arborists can work together to preserve tree canopy amidst development and growth.

With 31% of the area covered by trees, Argyle is a small town with a big heart for these natural assets. Ron and Wesley discuss topics such as the importance of education for developers and residents, balancing growth with tree preservation, and the benefits of a municipal arborist partnership. They cover how TreeNewal is helping the city educate developers and the public on the importance of preserving trees, and how incentivizing developers rather than punishing them can be an effective approach. They also discuss how an adopt-a-tree program could be beneficial, as well as the cost savings associated with proper tree maintenance. Together, they discuss the many benefits of trees such as providing shade, cooling effects, stormwater runoff mitigation, wildlife habitats, and increased property values.

Tune in to learn more about how Argyle is preserving its tree canopy and how you can get involved in your own community.
