Foundation pledges $100,000 for Barton Springs trees

From News 8 Austin, April 28, 2009...

The Austin Parks Foundation announced Tuesday it would pledge $100,000 to plant trees in and around the Barton Springs Pool area.

The City of Austin's recently-released tree assessments for Barton Springs Pool raised some concern with many citizens. About 28 trees are designated to come down, because they pose a danger to visitors.

The pledge announcement also marks the establishment of a Barton Springs Tree Care Fund for planting trees in and around the pool at Zilker Park.

Community members and businesses are asked to contribute to fund more care for trees in Austin's Parks. For more information, visit AustinParks.org.
