For example, my front yard came with a cement driveway. That pavement is hotter than my backyard with surrounding trees, bushes and ground covers.

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.
