A recent survey conducted by Texas A&M Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy in Texas revealed that Houston's Gulfton Super Neighborhood could support more than 500 additional trees in public spaces. @nature_org #GreenerGulfton #HoustonTrees More: bit.ly/3LJgIll
🌳 “A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt #MotivationalMonday
A five-year study is aiming to assess the health of bee populations in East Texas. The project, which started in 2022, is a collaboration between @SFASU, @SamHoustonState and Texas A&M Forest Service. More: bit.ly/3JRl1ZT
As trees across the state continue to be weighed down by ice and snow, keep in mind: 🌬 Safety first. Wait until all ice melts to assess your trees and homes. Though ice is starting to melt, it can fall off in chunks and become dangerous. (1/4)
Jeff Ray with CBS spoke to Urban Forester, Rachel McGregor and Forester, Courtney Blevins about the invasive Emerald Ash Borer. Thanks for collaborating with us Texas A&M Forest Service! @cblevins211 @TXForestService Watch this video to learn more: dfw.cbslocal.com/video/5860521-…
@cblevins211 and I spent the day filming with Jeff Ray (CBS) at the Fort Worth Nature Center. I love spreading EAB awareness and the importance of urban forestry.
NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) — I start this story with a startling fact; the hackberry tree - which comes in two varieties - is very common in North Texas. The tree is infamously found along stretches of power lines…cbsnews.com/dfw/video/gard… @cblevins211
Even after receiving much needed rainfall, our trees are still showing signs of drought. 100+ degree temperatures and lack of moisture has left trees dying or showing drought symptoms looking wilted and, in some cases, burnt – diseases such as leaf scorch or chlorosis
I love sharing good news! With all the rain earlier this week, we made a very nice dent in the drought conditions for many in North Texas. As we've said all summer, we have a lot of catching up to do. While that's still true, we're moving in the right direction! #wfaaweather
58,836 tons of carbon are captured from the atmosphere every day by Texas forests. That’s equivalent to the amount of carbon emitted by 11,603 passenger vehicles for an entire year! #ForestryFactFriday
#DYK flowers from sweet acacia trees were collected to manufacture French perfumes in the 19th century? These common small trees have like green foliage and are widespread in South Texas. They also store over 1 million tons of carbon in Texas forestlands. #SpeciesSpotlight
At this stage in the Texas drought, many are questioning if trees are dead or simply in a dormant state. The truthful answer is – it’s hard to tell as both show leaves turning brown and falling. There are a few simple tests to tell if there is still live tissue in trees. (1/5)
🌳 Being in and around nature helps your body's immune system and boosts disease-fighting cells to act faster. #HealthyTreesHealthyLives
American beech trees are large trees that grow to 100 ft tall. They have smooth, gray bark that many people us to carve their name or initials in but is sometimes injuring to the tree. In Texas forestlands, American beech trees store 725,806 tons of carbon! #SpeciesSpotlight
Being able to see trees while recovering from surgery – as through a hospital window – increases a patient's pain thresholds, requiring less pain relievers and shortening recovery time. #HealthyTreesHealthyLives
Yesterday, Texas A&M Forest Service responded to 28 wildfires for 1,586 acres burned. Crews continue suppression work on several wildfires, including the #ColonyFire and the #SmokeRiderFire. 🎥 Activity on the Wilson Fire, Parker Co on 8/3. Credit: Texas A&M Forest Service.

#DYK black willow was used by early settlers as a headache remedy due to it’s salicylic acid? Black willow is a large tree that grows to 50 ft tall and stores 962,050 tons of carbon in forestland in Texas! #SpeciesSpotlight
First planning meeting for the 2023 North Texas Urban Forestry Conference (Feb 15).
The best way to reduce stress to your tree during drought conditions is to give supplemental water – though the amount and how often is going to depend on the tree; the size, species and age of the tree as well as the soil type. 💧 👉 Read more here: bit.ly/3HEnaGv.
