Tree Planting at Bayview Park Brings 15 New Trees

Fifteen new trees now grace Bayview Park, thanks to the donations by Texas Roadhouse Inc. and the Arbor Day Foundation and to the hard work of the volunteers who turned out today along with community services and master gardeners.

Vice Mayor Clayton Lopez read a proclamation naming May 11th as Texas Roadhouse Arbor Day. This is part of Texas Roadhouse’s ongoing five-year commitment with the Arbor Day Foundation in helping to restore the tree canopies across America devastated by the hurricanes of 2017.

The park now features four new royal poinciana, two mahogany, two strangler fig, two blolly, three tabebuia, and two cassia trees.
