ABOUT JMBP
The goal of the JMBP is to create a rich urban forest of trees, native plants, grasses, shrubs, a walking trail and bird habitat along the length of the Jefferson Blvd. median, one of the widest and most barren medians in Dallas. This will inspire pride, value and a deep sense of community in our little corner of Oak Cliff.

The mission of the Jefferson Median Beautification Project is to instill civic pride by bringing together neighbors and local businesses to transform one of the largest medians in Dallas into an urban forest that is both welcoming and inspiring. This community led effort will produce results that will improve out environment, attract people to this area of town and highlight the surrounding neighborhoods as vibrant, clean and attractive places to live and do business.
Wonderful. Gotta figure out Paypal!
