Bexar Branches Alliance

Bexar Branches Alliance: Growing a Greener San Antonio Our Story: Bexar Branches Alliance sprouted from a common vision in 2021: improve the urban ecology of the San Antonio Region. We brought together passionate arborists, climate activists, and community developers – a powerful mix of expertise! Our goal? Unite public and private organizations to create a thriving urban forest. Why We’re Here: San Antonio’s booming growth between and 2020 came at a cost. Rapid development meant thousands of trees vanished from the Hill Country landscape. This not only hurts our environment, but also creates unfairness – tree cover is much lower in economically disadvantaged areas. A Texas A&M study sounded the alarm : we need more trees in San Antonio to combat the urban heat island effect and ensure everyone benefits from a healthy tree canopy. How We Make a Difference: Bexar Branches Alliance acts as a bridge between organizations, fostering collaboration 🤝 and ensuring that critical urban tree initiatives get done. Together, we’re planting a greener future for San Antonio, one tree at a time!
