Kingwood is losing a lot of beautiful trees. Leaves are dropping

My sister and her kids all live in the New Braunfels area. You want to see some parched land, go out there in the heat of summer. I don't see how anything survives out there.

Ruger5 : Remember the 2011 drought that decimated our trees? I'll never forget the naked greenbelts and brown esplanade along our major streets. I pray for rain 🌧

A lot more are being cut for construction of apartments. Kingwood is now the dying forest

CaffeineFree : I will never forget it either

Ruger5 : That was just plain scary. I thought it would be the end of our treed community. It took years to recover from that drought cycle.

Ruger5 : Neighbors have watered twice this Summer. Guessing their tree could have broken my water line?

Ruger5 : Yes, because no plan was made to water trees if a drought occurs. The HOA's generally only water entrances to subdivisions only. I have never seen the Trails Association water the parks or trails. There does not seem to be a plan to trim shrubs that are encroaching into the lane of traffic either.

oh a good note most will comeback I think a lot of them will just go into a hibernation mode well other will just die off. Nature has a way of taking care of things like this.

ForestFinds : Quite possibly
