The Parks and Community Services Department is proposing the submittal of a grant application for a
1998 Urban Forestry Grant for Public Outreach which is a program jointly administered by the Texas
Forest Service, the U S Forest Service and the Texas Urban Forestry Council. The purpose of the
grant is to provide initial funding to support new initiatives or to expand existing programs related to
urban forestry
Under this grant, the Department is proposing the development of an Internet Home Page for the
Forestry Section Information provided on this web site would include a brief history of Fort Worth's
urban forestry program, information about the Forestry Section, recommended trees for the area and
information about Oak Wilt and other diseases.
Currently the Forestry Section is completing a strategic plan for future urban forest management. This
plan is being completed with information gathered from aBenefit/Cost Analysis Study competed in
1996 Fort Worth was selected as a demonstration community for this project and it is our intent to
publish this information via the Internet.
The $10;000 grant would cover the cost of contracting for professional services for the development of
the Home Page The 50% .in-kind match of $10,000 would be the existing staff's time preparing text
and maintaining the page throughout the year
The Parks and Community Services Advisory Board voted unanimously to endorse the staff's
recommendation to .apply for and accept the subject grant if awarded at their May 19, 1998 meeting.
