Nature in the City - Austin Blog

In Austin, we love our trees, but we don’t always know the best way to show them our love.

Hi, I’m Anish. I will be a senior at McNeil High School in the fall of 2023.

Nature has always been with me and has been a grounding resource for me.

Today’s sustainability spotlight is shining on Youth Forest Council Intern Cain Ly.

Our Urban Forest Grant program was developed to maintain, restore, and replenish our urban forest using development fees accrued via the tree preservation ordinance.

Did you know the City of Austin protects trees on public and private property?

Trees have always been an important part of the character of Austin.

Nature in the City is handing the keys over to local high school students and their teacher today. They worked as teams to compare heat potential in different neighborhoods around Austin. We hope you enjoy seeing their work as much as we have.

Austin’s Nature in the City features informative articles that seek to examine, educate and celebrate community and nature.
