Advocating for A Sensible Highway Design and
Preservation of Oak Hill
Celebration of the Trees
It’s time to let the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) know that we strongly oppose their destruction of 288 legacy trees to build a twelve lane highway. You are cordially invited to Celebration of the Trees!
Date: July 10th, 2021
Time: 9:00am
Location: Right of Way in front of Hampton Inn (see detailed parking and gathering directions below)
How you can help: talk to neighbors and friends; post this information on your social media; sign the petition; make a donation - all donations will be matched, dollar for dollar!
Volunteer to: bring water bottles in ice chests; to make signs; bring card tables; to bring your musical instrument (or your whole band) and play for us
To volunteer, email karon.rilling@gmail.com
Donations will be matched up to a total of $2,500 through July 30th!
Park: at the old SW Park and Ride
Driving directions: From William Cannon at the cemetery, turn right toward Ben White. Go past the former Park and Ride and take a right.
There’s still an entrance onto the Park and Ride pavement. Park here!
Gather: On foot, take the trail inside the railing east towards the Hampton Inn.
Between the two driveways for Hampton Inn is a mowed area with multiple trees. As part of the Right of Way, we can meet there unless TXDOT asks us to leave. On a Saturday morning, we’re doubting that happens.
