HOUSTON — A local bayou is being widened, which is a process that typically means tearing down many trees.
But that’s not the case this time. An effort to find a new home for dozens of trees, some of which are decades old, is underway.
Outside the old golf clubhouse in Hermann Park, there is a stump where a stately tree once stood. It’s one of some 300 that toppled during Ike, changing the treescape in Houston’s flagship park.
