    January 25, 2008 The Honorable Mayor, Tom Leppert Councilmember Pauline Medrano Chairperson, Quality of Life and Government Services Committee City of Dallas 1500 Marilla St., Room 5FN Dallas, Texas 75201 Re: Dallas Urban Forest Advisory Committee Annual Report and 2008 Goals Dear Mayor Leppert and Councilmember Medrano, The members of the City of Dallas Urban Forest Advisory Committee wish to extend our sincere appreciation to you for your continuing support and commitment to the advancement of urban forest initiatives in the City of Dallas. The committee enjoyed tremendous success in reaching many important goals and objectives as well as addressing the many challenges we faced. As a result, we are very pleased to present our Annual Report detailing significant progress in many critical areas. In 2007, committee members, advisors and Citizen Foresters contributed 3,775 hours of expert/professional time as volunteers with a value of $ 284,223.00 toward improving our green infrastructure (details in reference section). To date, the committee raised $79,410.00 in donations and grants. In general, our region is beginning to understand that we are all responsible for the environment we leave for future generations. As a result, the “green” movement is gaining momentum. This bodes well for the future public support of urban forestry in Dallas as well as in our region. Recent scientific research shows that for every dollar ($1.00) spent on urban forestry, over five dollars ($5.00) in benefits are received by the public. As the public learns of the direct correlation between trees and our air quality, stormwater runoff, heat island effect and much more, support for urban forestry will continue to grow.
