LOCAL STORY
Arlington needs help to count its trees
(Arlington, TX)- Increasing Arlington's tree canopy could bring a different type of green to the city: more federal grant funding and savings to the taxpayers through energy cost reductions and storm-water mitigation. "If we can show areas of need and say we've got proof this area is environmentally inferior due to the lack of trees, we will be able to qualify for more grants." said city forester Matt Churches.
