About 10-12 years ago, the town of Arlington, Texas began logging and marking ALL trees on city property, parks and easements.
If one comes into town for a event at Jerry World, Six Flags or a Ranger game, one will observe aluminum tags on the trunks of all trees along streets and open spaces.
Yes, people have jobs to keep track of the trees.
lol........good to know its not an exaggeration
Yes, people do have govt jobs to keep track of trees.
