3.stopping farmers/ranchers from removing cedar trees from their land, a tree which is not native to Texas and migrated from Mexico and robs the soil of needed water to protect a bird which only nests in that certain tree which is not native to Texas but migrated north from Mexico along with the tree in the last century.

Would that be what we know out here as the Salt Cedar...a/k/a/ Tamarisk?

They're horrendously ugly and suck up tons of deep water.

I think its Red Cedar. It also causes terrible pollen counts for allegic folks. There are pictures of the trees actually 'exploding' pollen into the air.
