SPRING 2019 TREE TOUR
SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 2019
8:30AM – 2:45PM
The theme for the spring tour is Fort Worth Heritage Trees. There have been about 70 designations since the program’s inception in 2009. We will take a look at about 15 of the biggest and best of this special tree group. This wonderful day will include two of Fort Worth’s National Champions and several trees designated for some of the cities’ forefathers and their great stories and contributions. 
Some of these great trees had neighborhoods planned and built around them and meetings and celebrations have been held by them for 80-100 years. We even have trees that will provide us with incredible views.
Fort Worth is truly blessed with a rich history and heritage and a wonderful group of trees that were witness’s to the beginnings and the development of the city. Many Texas cities have the same environment as Fort Worth. The difference is that the Fort Worth Parks Department and City Forester Melinda Adams had the vision, desire and ability to start and maintain this incredible program. There is no place in Texas that does more than Fort Worth does in historic tree recognition.
So, set the date and take a ride with us to take a look at these great trees and their stories. We will provide you with more detailed information and the opportunity to register very soon.
