Preparing the La Reunion TX land ready for building while keeping in mind a healthy, long-term ecology is of utmost importance to La Reunion TX. Unhealthy and non--native trees have been tagged by Preservation Tree and approved by the City of Dallas for banding -- a technique where the bark is hacked off one hands width around the trunk of the tree, thus inhibiting growth and slowly killing the tree from the inside out. The dying tree becomes a feast for insects and birds and restores a more balanced ecosystem. With artists doing the banding, the tree also becomes a long--term decomposing installation.
