Caution: Elevated Risk of Oak Wilt
- 🌲The Texas A&M Forest Service advises us that all oak trees in our area are susceptible to oak wilt, an infectious disease caused by a fungus. To reduce the risk of your tree contracting this deadly fungus, avoid pruning your trees before July 1st, paint over any cuts you do make, and never store infected red oaks for firewood use. For more information, check out their official literature here (it’s just one page)!
Who Is the Anderson Mill Neighborhood Association?
The Anderson Mill Neighborhood Association (AMNA) is a collection of volunteer residents who are working to coordinate events and communication to make our neighborhood a safe and vibrant place to live. We help coordinate events like National Night Out and the Community Yard Sale.
The Anderson Mill Limited District (AMLD) is the local government whose primary responsibilities are maintaining the parks in our neighborhood, collecting our trash, and enforcing our deed restrictions. They maintain our pools and operate amazing resources like the after-school programs at El Salido and our Senior Center on Millwright.
We look forward to continuing to work together to make Anderson Mill a wonderful place to live, work, and learn together!
