History
Over four decades ago, a corporate attorney named Carroll Shaddock helped form the nonprofit Trees for Houston – a group responsible for planting and caring for more than 200,000 trees throughout the city. He also founded Billboards Limited, which banned new billboards across Houston in 1980, established a citizen referendum on bus shelters and eventually became Scenic Houston, the first Scenic Chapter which then led to the founding of Scenic Texas in 1985 and subsequently other chapters in the state.
Shaddock brought his passion for the beautification of Texas into every facet of his work for our organization, serving in various roles over the years without pay. Since 1985, Scenic Texas has been an organization running on donations, volunteers, and Shaddock’s determination.
