Creating a more scenic San Marcos

Scenic Texas, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the state’s visual environment, kicked off an ambitious project this week to plant 1 million trees in Texas.

The 35-year-old organization will plant trees across the state and along roadways over the next 35 years.

“As an organization with a mission to create a more scenic state, we can’t think of an undertaking more central to our goals,” said Sarah Tober, Scenic Texas executive director. “We’re excited about rolling up our sleeves and digging in.”
