TreeFolks is central Texas’ only charity that promotes comprehensive urban forestry practices to public, private and government audiences. Since 1989 TreeFolks has planted 250,000 trees in and around Austin at schools, parks, in medians, right of ways, community gardens and greenbelts. Our impact preserves Austin’s quality of life by cooling the air, cleaning precious water, sheltering us from the hot Texas sun, and by providing a shaded sense of place that fosters a healthy, connected community.
Annually we plant more than 10,000 trees and provide stewardship opportunities that log nearly 30,000 volunteer hours! We invite you to join us in creating a healthier environment and enhancing the quality of urban life in central Texas.
We couldn’t have such a big impact each year without the help of the dedicated core group of volunteers on our Program Committee, our hard working Board of Director’s and the many, many folks from the community who come out to plant trees with us at events all over town. Thank you!
