TYLER, Texas — Dying or dead trees may stick out as an eyesore in a green and blooming park, but Tyler Trees Committee and Urban Forestry Division want you to take a look beyond the bark.
Two trees in Tyler so far, have been named "Wildlife trees." One is located outside of the Goodman Le-Grand House and Museum and the other at Rose Rudman Park.
Madeline Burton, a forester with Tyler's Urban Forestry Division, says that she was called out to inspect the trees to consider them for removal. However, upon inspection, she saw these trees could be beneficial to nature.
