A Place for Trees: The Journey to Build the First Arboretum in San Antonio and Central Texas

Описание: Welcome to Ensemble Texas, where we dive deep into the heart of San Antonio's latest initiatives to enhance our green spaces! In this episode, we are thrilled to announce the future San Antonio Arboretum, set to transform the Republic Golf Course into a lush, educational, and community-centric oasis.

Join me as I chat with Tom Corser, CEO of Arboretum San Antonio, about the visionary project aimed at nurturing native trees, promoting environmental education, and celebrating our historical and cultural heritage. From the majestic live oaks to the innovative master planning, this arboretum will serve as a beacon of sustainability and community enrichment. 🌿
