Tree Smart Brown Bag Lunch & Learn

Sessions Available in March and April 

The City of Austin Development Services Department (DSD) is pleased to announce the first Tree Smart learning sessions for 2023. You are invited to join experts from our Community Tree Preservation Division and other community members who seek to learn more about the City’s tree ordinance and help protect our urban forest. These events will be during lunchtime for your convenience. Light snacks will be provided, but participants will need to bring their lunch if desired. 

We will offer two sessions in March and April:

Tree Smart learning opportunities are open to all interested Austinites and anyone with a project that could be subject to the City’s tree protection requirements. The presentation will focus mainly on information that affects permit holders and professionals who work in development and landscaping. Participants will also have an opportunity to ask questions of the City Arborist and other DSD tree personnel.  

On-site parking is available at the Permitting and Development Center, and parking for public meetings is free. Be sure to get your ticket validated on site. More information will be included with your registration.
