Region in the Country
The City of Arlington is committed to protecting and improving the health
and quality of its natural environment. At the direction of Arlington City
Council’s Environmental Task Force, the City has developed an
Environmental Commitment website detailing the ways that the City is
working to protect and improve its natural resources. By visiting the
website, Arlington residents will learn how the City protects their air, water,
and natural habitats.
Arlington has a wide range of urban wildlife living in and around beautiful
green belts, lakes, streams and the Trinity River. On the Environmental
Commitment webpage, citizens will be able to lean more about Arlington’s
natural ecosystems and what Arlington is doing to protect them. The
website lists the numerous awards and recog-nition the City has received for
its work in habitat preservation, including recognition from the Arbor Day
Foundation and Audubon Society.
The website also includes a calendar of environmental events and
opportunities for residents to attend Citizens Environmental Committee
meetings, and local environmental education and recycling events.
North Texas Alliance (NTXIA) is a 501(c) 3
consortium comprised of key crosssector
stakeholders
working to collaboratively solve pressing
challenges to improve quality of life,
inclusive economic development, and
increase
resource efficiency through the
use of data, technology and community.
Fueled by strong partnerships, the
NTXIA will be the largest initiative of its
kind in the United States.
The 21 founding members of
NTXIA include Arlington, Texas.
One of the core tenants of NTXIA is the
establishment of strategic advisory
committees to tackle complex
topics including data standards and
privacy, cybersecurity, digital inclusion,
financial models and
procurement.
