Today the Arboretum sent an e-mail to members with a press release announcing plans to mow at Winfrey Point have been put on hold. Mary Brinegar, CEO and President at the Arboretum, issued this statement:
“Over the past couple of weeks, the Arboretum has heard the opinions of its friends and neighbors and recognizes any plans to temporarily park at Winfrey Point have resulted in serious misunderstandings that need to be addressed. We are committed to being a good neighbor and steward to the citizens of East Dallas, the metroplex and all of North Texas.”
