Letter of Support Request – Save our 100 year old Oak Tree

Letter from Betty Heaker and Mike Stephens, GOCC President

To: Members and friends of the North Shepherd area

The North Shepherd District and partners have succeeded in SAVING the sign structure/bus stop on the old Sears property. Now we need your help to save its partner: a 100-year old Oak that stands next to it and is one of the last survivors from the forest that once grew on that site.

We are asking you to take action:
Send a “Save our 100 year Old Oak” letter of support. Please include your zip code.

Get the word out! Spread the word and generate support!

Please send your letters to North Shepherd District, 4537 North Shepherd, Houston, 77018 or your emails to

Send it to the Garden Oaks Civic Club 

or send it to Donna@wabashfeed.com

We want to show how much support there is in our neighborhood for saving this tree to the Owners of the property, Fidelis Realty Partners, our Councilmembers and the “Big Box” merchant who will soon be our new neighbor.

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! WE MUST ACT QUICKLY!

I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to take action. When I appeared before the Planning Commission when we saved the sign structure/bus stop I noted that “this tree had stood for more than a 100 years and taken everything that Nature could throw at it during those 100 years but it can not survive a chainsaw”.

Many thanks,

Michael Stephens, Garden Oaks Civic Club
Betty L. Heacker, North Shepherd District
