The debate over tree preservation continues as city staffers and concerned residents met for another public meeting about the contentious Brackenridge Park restoration project.

At the Witte Museum, the San Antonio Parks and Recreation and Public Works departments hosted a second community meeting Tuesday evening to gather input regarding the Brackenridge Park project, which is included in the 2017-22 bond package and calls for removing dozens of trees from the park. The city started the meeting by apologizing for its miscommunication about the project’s objectives related to a rookery — or breeding ground — of egrets in the park, which has become one of the most contentious issues to arise from the project.
