The Beautify Belmont! committee will be hosting another tree planting project this fall - October 23, 2010.  The project utilizes the City of Dallas Reforestation Fund Info.

The Fund is a program that provides free trees to non-profit organizations (like neighborhoods) so that they can be planting on public lands.  The Fund provides the trees and delivers them to a central location near the planting area.  The neighborhood is then responsible for transporting the trees to each individual planting location and planting the trees.  The only public lands we have in our neighborhood are the parkways.  In the fall of 2007, we planted 40 trees in one day!  The tree size is a minimum of 30 gallons, but most of the trees we received last time were considerably larger.  The trees must be selected from the City's list of trees that are suited for North Texas.  Belmont, Goliad, Palo Pinto and Velasco may chose from either the Large Canopy Tree list (http://www.dallascityhall.com/arborist/LargeCanopyTrees.pdf)  (preferred) or the Small Tree list (http://www.dallascityhall.com/arborist/SmallTrees.pdf).  Due to the size of its parkways, Llano may only chose from the Small Tree list.  Parkways with overhead utility lines must also chose from the Small Tree list.
