TreeFolks grows central Texas urban forests through tree planting, education and community partnerships. Since 1989, TreeFolks has planted tens of thousands of trees in and around Austin at schools, retirement homes, and housing projects, and in medians, residential right of ways, community gardens, parks, preserves and green belts. We invite businesses, schools, government, community groups and individuals to join us in creating a healthier environment and enhancing the quality of urban life in Central Texas.
TreeFolks operates on a small staff of four. We couldn’t do it without the help of the dedicated core group of volunteers on our Planting Committee and the many, many folks from the community who come out to plant trees with us at events all over town. Thank you!
