“The 100-Year Management Plan for the Great Trinity Forest”
November 28, 2007
The City of Dallas Trinity River Corridor Project will outline the 100-year management plan for the Great Trinity Forest. Dr. Gary Kronrad, Director for Economic Development and Research at the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture, Stephen F. Austin State University, will provide detailed instructions on how to take care of the forest, including a yearly schedule of work for each ecosystem and forest component.
The plan will detail how to create a multiple use forest; protect and enhance the ecosystem; improve wildlife habitat; provide recreation opportunities; and enhance aesthetics. Maintaining the forest will contribute to reduction of storm water runoff, abatement of heat island effects and other positive energy conservation efforts.
GroundworkDallas and Trinityrivercorridor.org have more info for you.
And a Google search yields a bootleg copy of Kronrad's speech.

Does the plan include 1) toll roads 2) burning it all for charcoal brickettes and 3) drilling for oil? No? Maybe just not yet.
