Call Amanda Vanhoosier with the city of Coppell. She was successful in getting the city to change their acceptable tree list as well as starting a very successful community gardening and composting program.
It's been 5 years since I worked with her so things might have changed.

The city of Frisco has been very forward in their drive to "go green".
The city website has information on their recycling, compost & waste disposal programs. I know they hold at least one environmental fair every year. Last year there were two.
Here's the link to their environmental services department, a good place to start asking questions.

Have you contacted the Arlington organic garden club?
Their website is

Having worked with various organizations (Dallas ISD being one), I can tell you that most of the folks you will encounter these days know a great deal about what you're driving toward and would prefer you be successful. They've learned it makes their jobs safer and easier in the long run too. It is a mistake to approach any environmental or parks & rec department these days assuming they are without knowledge of organic & natural methods, xeriscaping & composting. Quite the contrary.

Maybe we could get a crew from the DD website forums to come for an event? Nadine, Greg - you up for another project? :lol: :lol: 8)
